In some cases, you might want to stitch together several .rec files.
While we do not offer any tools for this feature (such as the rec_splitter for the opposite operation) you can easily do it manually.
For example, let’s say you have 2 .rec files (rA which runs for 5 minutes and rB running for 8 minutes)
Create a new diagram with 2 players (pA et pB) linked to the same recorder.
Configure pA properties as follow :
offset = 0 : 00 : 00:000
beginning time = 0 : 00 : 00:000
end time = 0 : 05 : 00:000
and pB like so :
offset = -0 : 05 : 00:000
beginning time = 0 : 00 : 00:000
end time = 0 : 08 : 00:000
The newly created .rec will contain rA and rB one after the other.
If you have more than 2 .rec files, it might better to automate the process. The logic remains the same, thus the “algorithm” would be something like :
1. Create a diagram with a player.
2. Load data set 1 into player
3. Connect player to recorder
4. Run
5. Check player percentage -> when 100% -> Player shutdown (not the full diagram just the player)
6. Player load data set 2
7. Player.offset = - currenttime ("moins currenttime").
8. Run & repeat steps 5 to 8 as needed
