Operation
This utility serves three main functions. First, processing raw buffer files of any supported format into well formatted, optimized xbin files. Second, merging buffer file data into time slice separated archive files. Third, processing any changes of flagged buffer files and updating associated archives as needed.
File Processing
Buffer files are typically imported in the PENDING state, and must be converted into xbin files, which are indicated with the PROCESSED state.
