Using HgTrans, you can convert all or a subset of data from a native file format to Altair Binary Format (ABF) via the batch mode process.
To start a batch mode process, run hgtrans.exe in a DOS command prompt on a PC or use hgtrans from a UNIX shell. If you do not specify complete arguments in the command line, the defaults will be used.
hgtrans.exe is located in the following directories:
PC |
<Altair Home>\hw\bin\WIN64 |
Unix |
/Altair/scripts |

The name of the ABF output file. |
<result file> |
