Subsequent Data Processing

• ASCII raw data file(s) are captured from analyzer
• Capture is usually to PC data logger
• Usually a new file created every few days
• Files are usually processed through Tekran
  provided application, Combine before further use

10
Uses of Combine Program

• Provided as a convenience to make data reduction
  easier. It is not necessary
• Combines several raw files into larger file
• Separates data into three files
• xxxx.DAT file
• Contains only the mercury readings
• Time aligned to allow easy production of time
  plots in Excel
• xxxx.CAL file
• Contains Zero/Span areas
• May be used to produce bar charts
• xxxx.MSC file
• All other data e.g. calibrations, setups, title
  lines, etc

Ongoing Calib Results .CAL File

• .CAL file maintains history of Zero Span
  operations
• Can be easily imported into Excel to generate a
  bar graph
• Gives excellent indication of
• High zero values
• Sudden changes in analyzer sensitivity
• Cartridge imbalance during calibrations

13
The Split Function

• Allows separation of data into separate columns
  according to a list of conditions
• Type of reading (CONT, ZERO, SPAN)
• Cartridge (A, B, Both)
• Event flag setting (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
• Most often used to separate data based on event
  flags
