A set of three programs that comprise a complete 16-Channel paper tape processing package for the PC environment.


Application
Raw data streams are inherently difficult to work with and usually require specialized platforms or environments to process the data. This means many powerful, off-the-shelf personal computer software packages can't be used to review, reduce, analyze or visualize the data. The Tape2Text package of three powerful utilities not only creates a processing stream from gage-to-page, but translates the data into a format readily accepted by most of todays state-of-the-art application software. Optional Filter Packs are available to pass data back and forth between agencies or organizations in a number of specialized formats.

Features
  • Converts raw data streams to text files usable by any application capable of importing TAB-delimited text files.
  • Handles recording intervals from 1 minute to 1 year.
  • Sums rainfall - otherwise uses the individual data values for non-rain parameters.
  • Can apply datum corrections.
  • Can apply time-adjustments.
  • Never alters the original-record data file; creates a new, separate output text file.
  • Automatically opens the output file as a worksheet and chart in Excel for easy review and editing.
Support
Tape2Text has a support web site with Technical Information and Frequently Asked Questions.

Tape2Text
The Tape2Text utility converts an un-delimited, fixed width data stream into a [TAB] delimited data file format that is compatible with many widely used application software packages, such as Microsoft Office. The data can originate from any source, such as a raw telemetry stream from an RF radio, electronic data logger dumps, or 16-channel punched paper tapes. Upon conversion, Tape2Text automatically opens Microsoft Excel to review/edit the data. View the online documentation.

Text2Daily
The Text2Daily program produces a [TAB] delimited data file containing daily statistics. The program uses files created by the Tape2Text program, or any [TAB] delimited data file that contains a date column in a format readable by the Visual Basic Scripting host and a data column as input. Upon conversion, Text2Daily automatically opens Microsoft Excel to review/edit the data. View the online documentation.
