RSA [N] (for Retrieve Sample in ASCII)<br />
• Retrieves N samples from the current file in ASCII format.<br />
• If N is not specified, one sample is retrieved.<br />
• The first sample retrieved will be the one given by the file marker; after executing this<br />
command, the file marker is moved to the next sample after those retrieved.<br />
• See Section 3.16 for a description of the output data format.<br />
RSB [N] (for Retrieve Sample in Binary)<br />
• Retrieves N samples from the current file in binary format.<br />
• If N is not specified, one sample is retrieved.<br />
• The first sample retrieved will be the one given by the file marker; after executing this<br />
command, the file marker is moved to the next sample after those retrieved.<br />
• See Section 3.16 for a description of the output data format.<br />
FS (for First Sample)<br />
• Moves the file marker to the first sample in the file.<br />
LS (for Last Sample)<br />
• Moves the file marker to the last sample in the file.<br />
GS [sample number] (for Go to Sample)<br />
• Moves the file marker to the sample number specified.<br />
• This sample will be the next retrieved with the RSA or RSB commands.<br />
CS (for Current Samples)<br />
• Returns the number of current samples shown by the file marker.<br />
NS (for Number of Samples)<br />
• Returns the number of samples in the currently open file.<br />
The following are examples of how to access recorder data from the direct-command interface.<br />
The <strong>Argonaut</strong> software includes a program to download data files (see the <strong>Argonaut</strong> Software<br />
<strong>Manual</strong>) and the direct access commands here are not needed for most applications.<br />
Example 1: Retrieve configuration data from deployment LAKE001.ARG<br />
26<br />
• LD to list deployments<br />
• OD LAKE001 to open the deployment<br />
• RC to retrieve configuration<br />
Example 2: Retrieve the last 5 samples in ASCII format from deployment LAKE001.ARG<br />
• LD to list deployments<br />
• OD LAKE001 to open the deployment<br />
• NS to retrieve the number of samples in the file (assume 1355 for this example)<br />
• GS 1351 to go to sample number 1351 in the file (fifth from the last sample)<br />
• RSA 5 to retrieve the last five samples in ASCII format<br />
