  • Page 9: Function

    2.Function - 2.1.Decimation Process 2. Function The software converts a recorded data file of the RA3100 (in dedicated binary format) into the CSV file (text) or ASAM MDF (Ver. 4.1) format. The conversion process is performed on multiple data files in multiple recording folders specified for a single conversion execution command.

  • Page 10: Date Range Sampling Process

    2.Function - 2.2.Date Range Sampling Process 2.2. Date Range Sampling Process The printer recording and SSD recording process of the RA3100 automatically divides recorded files into multiple files when recording is performed for an extended period of time, but a range can be specified as a start point and end point from the start of recording, even if the range spans over multiple files.

    2.Function - 2.3.Data Merging Process 2.3. Data Merging Process This function merges MEMORY recording with SSD recording or PRINTER recording into single channel of data. If only one of the recording files to merge exist, regular conversion (without data merging) is performed. The data is merged after the decimation process.
