For the file naming convention, see D.10.3 Tsview Command Line Options (page 411).
D.10.3 Tsview Command Line Options
-help
Gives a list of available options:
-count :N (only print N pulses)
-data (print data values)
-help (print this list and exit)
-length :N (max line length to use)
-skip :N (skip the first N pulses)
-verbose (print full header info)
-noExit (do not exit when done) pathname
(all other arguments ignored)
pathname
This is the directory and name of the TS
file.
Before starting tsview, use the cd command to go to the directory where the archive
files are located. This saves you from having to specify the full path and to allow the X-
window center button and copy/paste technique to be used to avoid typing file names.
In the archive directory, use the ls command to view the files that you want by date and
time using standard UNIX options for ls. The asterisk * is a wild card.
The file names are very long, so you do not want to type them. Instead, highlight the file
name and click the middle button to copy the text to the terminal cursor location.
The
file name format is designed to make it easy to identify TS files. In this example, we used
a
file with the name:
RVP8.20031208.192519.074.Ascope_DEFAULT.0.H.249
The file name format is:
site.YYMMDD.HHMMSS.SSS.taskname.sweep.polarization.maxrange
The fields are as follows:
