Ziptrain
Ziptrain is a utility to collect and compress diagnostic data from the APU into a .zip file. It collects the 100 most recent train acquisitions (pre- and post-processed) by default, as well as configuration settings.
The number of train acquisitions can be specified using a positive integer, if more or less than 100 is desired.
Alternatively, all files can be specified using the --all parameter.
Specific file extensions can be specified using the --all parameter in conjunction with *.
In-terminal help is available via the --help parameter as well.
Regardless of which parameters are specified, configuration files are always collected.
The generated .zip file can be found in D:\AEI and will be named after the date as set on the APU.
The naming format is TRYYMMDD.zip, e.g. a file compressed on December 1st, 2024 would be TR241201.zip.
Any previously compressed train acquisitions made by ZipTrain will be deleted when running the ziptrain command.

| ziptrain.bat --all | Compresses all train files |
| ziptrain.bat --all *<extension> | Compresses all files of the specified file type extension. Only one extension can be specified at a time. |

Examples
ziptrain.bat
Compresses the 100 most recent trains' pre- and post-processed acquisitions, along with configuration settings.
ziptrain.bat 83
Compresses the 83 most recent trains' pre- and post-processed acquisitions, along with configuration settings.
ziptrain.bat --all
Compresses all train files in the trains' directory, along with configuration settings.
ziptrain.bat --all *.035
Compresses all .035 files in the trains' directory, along with configuration settings.
ziptrain.bat --help
Displays help.
" _______ _______ _ " " |___ (_) |__ __| (_) " " / / _ _ __ | |_ __ __ _ _ _ __ " " / / | | '_ \| | '__/ _` | | '_ \ " " / /__| | |_) | | | | (_| | | | | | " " /_____|_| .__/|_|_| \__,_|_|_| |_| " " | | " " |_| " Parameters: First: Can specify number trains to zip or --all for all files. Files are zipped in order of modification, newest to oldest. Second: If using the --all command, you can specify all of which file, such as *.060's, rather than entire trains. Examples: ziptrain.bat (will zip 100 *POST.SZP's and their _PRE.SZP pair if they exist, 100 trains (all their files) if not) ziptrain.bat 83 (will zip 83 of *POST.SZP and their _PRE.SZP pair if they exist, 83 trains (all their files) if not) ziptrain --all (will zip all files) ziptrain --all *.060 (will zip all *.060's) Notes: -If a file is not found, a message will be displayed informing that 0 of that file were zipped. -If you pass in 92 but there are only 3 of that file, it will zip 3 and display that it zipped 3. -Configuration information, such as parameters and software version, are always zipped no matter the command. -Since the loop is based on last modified date, if you are not getting a train you expect, make sure that you are zipping enough trains to get files from a while back, or use --all to zip all. |
Changes in 1.1.0
By default, ZipTrain now only collects the pre and post-processed acquisition files instead of all train files.
ZipTrain now also only collects the 100 most recent trains unless otherwise specified.
Functionality of configuration file collection remains the same.
