To use the Generic Data Parser to convert files, the files must be in ASCII format and must contain time stamps. If there are no time stamps the Parser will provide them to your configuration.
The pseudo time stamp is a user-determined time sequence that overrides the Data Parser’s time stamp requirement that each record have a time stamp. This enables data to be imported into HIPS and SIPS without having to insert artificially generated time stamps in order to satisfy the Parser requirement.
Instead, you can use a pseudo time stamp, by specifying an initial start date and time as well as the increment value to attach to each record.
By default, the time is set to midnight at the current date, but this can be changed. An increment value attaches a new time to each record. This time increment cannot be zero or a negative value.
Make sure that the pseudo time stamps for different types of data are compatible.
If you are using this feature, the Time Stamps panel information must still be completed, but the pseudo time stamp will override this information.
