8... POST-PROCESSING OF COLLECTED DATA

Adding Icons

Two icons are available on the Icon Toolbar for use in construction of the Post-Processing Net; a Math icon and a File icon.

MATH ICON

The Math icon provides algebraic processing of data as it passes from input to output. In Figure 8... -1, the Math icon is providing a differential temperature calculation and generating a third data channel, Delta-T,which is then stored to the destination file.

Double-click on the icon to open its configuration dialog box. See the Master Icon Listing in Appendix A for configuration details.

DESTINATION FILE ICON

The Destination File icon represents storage to file of all signals connected to its inputs. Up to 36 inputs can be connected to the File icon when it is used as an Excel file or 24 when used as an ASCII file. Each time a User adds a connection, an additional input terminal appears.

Double-clicking on the icon opens its Configuration dialog box. With the dialog box, the destination file data format can be specified as ASCII (*.TXT), OMP-MODL Download (*.HLD), or Version 4.0 Excel spreadsheet (*.XLS) format. See the Master Icon Listing in Appendix A for configuration details.

Multiple File icons can be connected in a net for simultaneous storage of different signals and/or multiple file formats.

Connecting Icons

Icons are connected using the standard drag and drop connection method as used for construction of HyperNet Program Nets. The order of connections made to the Destination File icon determines their sequence in the resulting file.

Unconnected Memory icons will not be processed nor included in the Destination File.

Other Post-Processing Net Development Options

As in the development of a Program Net from within HyperNet, various tools such as Grid, Snap, and Print Net options are available from the Menu Bar.

Saving the Post-Processing Net

Upon completion of the Net, it can be saved for later use with the menu selection File/Save Net As or with the Save Net button. The saved Post- Processing Net can then be opened at a later time for conversion of additional OMP-MODL Download files that have the same channel configuration and filename.

An Example: Every day, a OMP-MODL is downloaded and the data is run through the same Post-Processing Net which converts the data to an Excel spreadsheet. A Post-Processing Net could be constructed once and saved with the filename CONVERT.PST.
