# Introduction

rbnbTrim is a Java application which connects to a DataTurbine, requests data (within a specified time range) from all of a Source's registered channels, and saves this data to the archive of a new Source. rbnbTrim could be used to copy the entire content of a Source or just a "slice" of data out of a Source.

# Startup

rbnbTrim needs to be run under a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). rbnbTrim has the command-line arguments shown in the table below.

Description | Argument format | Required?
RBNB address | -a <host[:port]> | No
Start (begin) time | -b <start time> | Yes
Stop (end) time | -e <stop time> | Yes
Input source | -i <input source name> | Yes
Output source | -o <output source name> | Yes
Print help message | <-h | -?> | No

The format of the command line looks like the following:
