Event

Event marks are sometimes generated automatically by the logging system to indicate that a certain amount of time has elapsed, or a certain distance has been travelled. The event marks can be displayed in the Single Beam Editor. In HIPS, event mark records consist of one or more unique event numbers and textual comments. In this dialog box, you must specify where to look for the event mark number within the data record.

1. Select the Identifier check box, if the data is going to be associated with an Identifier.

2. Enter an identifier and start position for the data.

3. Select the location of the data as a Fixed Column or Free Form position.

4. Enter the relevant free form or column position.

5. If the Events marks contain a textual description, check the Comments check box.

6. Type the Start Position of the comments in the text file.

7. Type the Length of the comment.

8. Select the Time Stamp check box to include the time stamp that is included with the event. If this option is not checked, the time stamp parsed from the file is used.
