Houdini CHOP File Out Extension Examples

Examples

Example #1
A simple example writing an ASCII file with 3 data channels.

Example #2
An example of writing to a binary file with 8 channels of data (4 constants and 4 waveforms). The second input, the
Event Gate, is being triggered by an oscillator to toggle the data being written to disk at periodic intervals.

Example #3
An example writing to an ASCII file with a "header" included and inserting a time stamp into the beginning of the data line. The format string is demonstrating a number of different ways to format the data; in addition there's an "EOL" at the end of the line should one want to parse for that type of token rather \n, \r, or NULL. The manner in which you format the data is entirely up to you and your specific requirements.

Example #4
This example writes 16 channels of data to an ASCII file and is using 2 File Out CHOPs, writing to the files at the same time but from to different nodes in the CHOP network. A "time stamp" is inserted into the beginning of the data line.
