  sddsconvertalarmlog alarmLog.sdds snapshot.sdds -snapshot=1700000000 -retain=Time,Value  
      

• synopsis:
  sddsconvertalarmlog [input-file] [output-file] [-pipe[=input][,output]]  
    [-binary | -ascii] [-float | -double]  
    [-minimumInterval=seconds] [-snapshot=epochtime]  
    [-time=[start=epochtime][,end=epochtime]]  
    [-delete=column-names] [-retain=column-names]  
      

• files: input-file is an SDDS alarm log; output-file is the converted result.
• switches:
  • -binary or -ascii – set the output file format.
  • -minimumInterval=seconds – discard records closer than the interval.
  • -snapshot=epochtime – output data at the specified epoch time.
  • -time=start,end – limit records to the given time range.
  • -delete or -retain – remove or keep listed columns.
