This step enables the user to specify which data is to be converted. This section also contains various
filters that can be used to reduce the amount of information being converted into the output file.
Choose which receivers are to be converted. Different CW products have a different amount of receivers.
Chameleon will only convert data from the receivers which are selected here.
Choose the Data Reduction Type. Either all of the data will be converted or just the data for the strongest
server (RSSI), depending on the choice chosen here.
Choose the Average Type. Depending on the product, different options will be available here. Certain prod-
ucts will have the choice of 40 lambda averaging (Panther for example).
One of the powerful features of Chameleon is its ability to convert data into a large number of formats. By
selecting the appropriate post-processing application, the correct fields will be selected and placed in the
selected field box in the appropriate order. If the format selected requires information that is not ASCII-
delimited, no fields will show as selected in the selected field box. The data for these non-ASCII formats
is fixed thus the user will not be able to adjust the order or the number of fields to be converted.
The user may also choose a custom ASCII format of a type that is not represented by any of the supported
post-processing applications. This is accomplished by choosing "Custom Configuration". As stated above,
these configurations can be saved in configuration files by using the "Save Configuration" option found in
the APPLICATION menu.
Step 3 – Select Data and Fields Which Are To Be In The Output File
Select the fields that are to be placed in the output file. The delimiting character may also be chosen. Field
titles may be placed in the output file by checking the appropriate box. To include data fields as specified
by the "Output Filter" page, be sure to have the "<<DATA>>" field in the selected box.
When a particular post-processing format type has been chosen, fields will be displayed in the selected
box. If the format chosen is a non-ASCII delimited custom format, the selection boxes will be inactive.
Step 4 – Convert The Input File
Press the CONVERT button. The progress bar will be updated as the file is being processed. The speed of
conversion will vary based on the data filter chosen.
After the message appears stating that the conversion has been completed, the converted file will be ready
for import into the specific post-processing application that you have chosen.
