rkcat Info:

• rkcat is a client program to the rk*_server-family.
  
  
• rkcat reads data out of a Simatic and prints them to stdout.
  Data can afterwords be processed by common Unix/Linux standard tools.
  There is no need for any programming.
  Data is emitted as a line per reading cycle.
  
  
• rkcat reads data blocks (DB).
  A given DB can be read once, cyclically with adjustable time base, or from a special FIFO output.
  
  
• rkcat contains options to optimize the output for a CSV file.
  This feature can be used to import data into a spreadsheet.
  Sample: you can specify representation of decimals ...
  
  
• data representation can be scaled by multipliers.
  
  
• data representation can be manipulated using a format string in printf-syntax.
  
  
• rkcat enables reading a Simatic fifo output.
