CHAPTER ELEVEN
DATA STORAGE – SETUP, EDIT, & VIEW FILES
11.1 Introduction to Grid and Sequential file formats
The CMX
The GRID file format is very similar to a spreadsheet format found in popular
software programs like Excel. A GRID is simply a table of readings. A location in a
grid is specified by giving a row and column coordinate. The rows are numbered
from 1 to 999 and the columns are labeled from A to ZZ (999 Rows & 52 Columns).
The sequential file format can be viewed as a file as a single column of up to 512
possible rows (readings), and a column of corresponding identifiers associated with
each individual reading. The identifier can be a combination of up to 10 numeric,
alpha, or special characters listed above, while the file name can consist of a
combination of up to 20 of the same character set. Note: The identifier cannot start
or end with a special character. Once a start and end ID are entered into the CMX
and the log created, the CMX
that range.
The following character set listed below are all the allowable characters that will be
used for both file formats: GRID & SEQ LOG. Any combination of these characters
can be used for creating a Name and Note regardless of the selected format. The
allowable characters are as follows:
Numeric characters: 0 – 9 Alpha Characters: A – Z
Special Characters: ! ' _ # space / . – ( )
Multiple grids can be created and stored until the CMX
attempts to store a new file in the CMX
of memory, the CMX
is unable to store the new file.
The CMX
the DIGITS or B-SCAN views with every reading , as well as all the CMX
for every individual reading . If the graphics option is disabled, not saving
screens hots, the CMX
stored with the reading will depend on what view the CMX
saved. For example, if the view was in B-SCAN, then a B-SCAN will be saved with
the reading.
In the sections that follow, the procedures for creating, using, and editing GRID's and
SEQ LOG's have been combined together for the purpose of similarity in overall
