8. VPC Utilities

8.1 VpcMerger

Like the "spc_merger" program of the previous SPC files, the program

VpcMerger makes it possible to accumulate individual VPC files to a single

VPM file per machine per day. This process allows the following advantages:

• clearly improved use of disc space, because with single, very small files on

NTFS drives, at least 4 KB per file is always allocated; on FAT drives the

waste of space is to an extent even larger

• distinctly quicker evaluation

• improved clarity in the daily directories.

The program can be started as a normal process, for example from the

Autostart file folder from Windows; also, it can be installed as a service, to

function independently from any user registration.

8.1.1 Setup and first start

The VpcMerger should be called up in the work directory

“C:\VISCOM\PROJECT\VPC\DATA“; this can be done by setting a

corresponding link. The configurations file “VpcMerger.ini“ is stored in this

directory; the site for the data to be processed can still be reconfigured later.

After the program is started, the illustrated main dialog, which is divided into

three parts, is displayed

1. The global statistics about the entire running time are in the upper area. Here,

in addition to the complete run time and the number of analyses done, the

number of merged, deleted and failed VPC files are read out.

2. In the middle area, the number of merged, deleted and aborted VPC files

referring to the current and/or last analysis is displayed.

3. In the lower area, an immediate analysis can be started with the button "Merge

now"; also, the progress column in the right area shows the time remaining

until the next automatic analysis.
