16.6. pH/ORP Electrode Data Logged Using an AP-700 - AP-1000
If your data was logged using an AP-700, AP-800, AP-900 or AP-1000, all the boxes within
the pH/ORP group will be populated as shown in the example above.
16.7. Displaying GPS Co-ordinates
On the right of the screen, the position at which the data was logged is displayed in the
GPS boxes (when logged using an AM-200 GPS Aquameter only). Latitude and longitude
can be displayed as Degrees and decimal Minutes (DD MM.MMMM) or as decimal
Degrees (DD.DDDDD). Select one format or the other by clicking one of the two options at
the bottom of the GPS box. Positional accuracy of lat/lon co-ordinates is +/- 10 meters with
a 3D Position fix.
GPS position is also displayed as an Ordnance Survey Great Britain (OSGB) grid
reference, (if the position falls within the United Kingdom) and UTM (Universal Transverse
Mercator) co-ordinates. Positional accuracy of OSGB co-ordinates is +/- 1 digit (i.e. +/- 100
metres). Positional accuracy of UTM co-ordinates is +/- 10 metres with a 3D Position fix.
16.8. On Screen Help
Help has been provided in this software in the form of ‘Tool Tips’. If you want to know what
a control button does or what a data box displays, simply move your mouse pointer over
the item in question. A multi-lingual Tool Tip will appear after a few seconds to give you
more information.
16.9. Saving Logged Data
Once a set of logged data has been uploaded from the Aquameter, it can be saved on your
PC as a Raw Data file. These files use a proprietary Aquaread format and are saved with
a .amf (
a
qua
m
eter
f
ile) extension.
To save the uploaded data, click the ‘
Save as Raw Data
’ button. You will be asked for a file
name in the normal Windows
®
format. The file name you choose will automatically be given
the .amf extension.
Useful Tip:
Once you have saved the logged data, it is a good idea to clear the
Aquameter’s memory so next time you log data, you don’t get both your old data and new
data uploaded to your PC. See
in section 8.
16.10. Retrieving Logged Data
Once a Raw Data file has been saved using the above technique, it can be easily retrieved
by clicking on the ‘
Open Raw Data
’ button. When a raw data file is opened, it will appear
exactly as uploaded data and the file name will be displayed in the box below the Report
Header box.
16.11. Exporting Data
AquaLink can export data in three different formats. Before exporting data, the actual data
to be exported must be selected.
First, select which data records you want to export by checking the relevant check-boxes in
the Uploaded Data column. You can check or un-check all data records simultaneously by
checking or un-checking the ‘Check / Un-Check All’ box above the Uploaded Data column.
Next, select which individual data classes you want to export by checking or un-checking
the check-boxes next to each individual data box. You are now ready to export your data.
