Often you might wish to combine several track files into one continuous track file. This can happen if you have the settings on the GT11 set to create files of a limited size. Or you might wish to combine two track files that have been recorded simultaneously to create a super track file with many track points recorded in each second. This is only suitable for Doppler recordings but can provide an extremely accurate measure of performance, and the doppler graph is very detailed. To combine two or more tracks first open all the tracks that need to be merged, and no more. This can be done using the File/Open... dialog and select a number of files at the same time.
However sometimes the files might be in different folders. To combine files from multiple folders first select some files from one folder using File/Open... and then select the remaining files using File/Import... or right click the Track Files item in the Tree Pane and select Import Track File...
Now with a number of files listed under the Track Files item in the Tree Pane, right click the Trackfiles item and select Create Combined File. RealSpeed with then combine the files into one new file listing under the Trackfiles item. The original files are not changed or deleted and no new file has yet been created. You can save the new listed file by selecting File/Save As... from the main menu. Note some things about the combined file. Firstly it has a common name based on the same characters in the original files and with _Combined appended to the end of the file. The most important aspect of the combined file is that it has the track points blended into a smooth curve. This provides a better view of the trajectory than the inevitable zigzag that would occur if the track points were not smoothed. And the speeds calculated from track points in the merged file are totally meaningless due to impossible toing and froing from one track to the other. However, the doppler values will now be much more detailed and this can be seen in the speed graph as shown below:
