MTS MPT Elastomer Dynamic Characterization
perl gus_mpt_dynamic.pl
Reads in one or more MTS-default specimen.dat
files. From amongst any other formats therein, the script will seek out only dynamic characterization records. From these it will then extract only user-selected columns.
For simplicity's sake, put all of your MPT data in the default specimen.dat
file. Then use my Perl/Tk scripts to extract what you need from them. When tests are done, fire up this Perl/Tk GUI script. Browse to whichever input files you want to munge. More than one may be munged at a time. For an input file from path C:\foo\bar\anything.dat
output will be written to C:\foo\bar\anything_dynamic_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.dat
'. Use pull-down menus to configure how many files to munge, which columns to extract, etc.
This script requires the Tk
a graphical user interface toolkit module for Perl.
*.exe
attached. The script is free but burning stand-alone *.exe
's for Win32 is a service. My own time I value quite the same as you. Thus will I expect a half-hour's pay (at your own rate, whatever it be) to appear in my mailbox a week or so later.
specimen.dat
files by the Static Deflection process in the Elastomer module of MultiPurpose TestWare by MTS. No matter that said file may also contain other data of unlike format there embeded by other MPT processes (such as Dynamic Characterization, etc.).
specimen.dat
ASCII file format. If you have a specific need which I've yet to addres, feel free to write. Include an example of the specimen.dat
file and how you'd like to see it munged.
