Fast recording and streaming to disk with Continuous or ECR mode(Event Controlled Recording) creates files with the extension *.bdf (binary data file). These files can be opened and handled with TranAX Data Acquisition Software and saved later in Elsys's standard *.tpc5 file format.
Convert multiple *.bdf files into *.tpc5 files
To convert multiple of these *.bdf files at once, the following Formula Editor example can be used. copy and paste the code below into TranAX Formula Editor.
; Convert multiple bdf files to tpc5
; 26.9.2017 Elsys AG / TBE
; TranAX 4.0 or newer
; Select directory with *.bdf files
path = "D:\Transfer"
retval = pause ("BDF file path:", path);
if retval = 1 then
SetFormulaError("Aborted...")
endif
; Convert each file
for each item in GetFiles(path, "*.bdf")
SaveBDF2TPC5(item);
next
endformula
; Save bdf file as a tpc5 file
Function SaveBDF2TPC5(filenameBDF)
filenameTPC5 = GetFilenameWithoutExtension(filenameBDF, "bdf") + "tpc5"
save(filenameTPC5, filenameBDF)
EndFunction
; remove file extension
Function GetFilenameWithoutExtension(filepath, extension)
GetFilenameWithoutExtension = Slice(filepath, 0, (Length(filepath)-1) - Length(extension))
EndFunction
