Display Current Day Data
This file will include a text view of the current day’s data only. An example of the data format is shown below. The first
column is the time, followed by a series of dashes. Each dash represents a possible error. If an error occurred, a letter
representing the error will appear in this field. For this example, at 7:00 am an “L” error (power failure) occurred. Then
at 8:00 an “M” error was logged, indicating that the operator was performing maintenance that hour.
The next column is the concentration. Notice that the values went full-scale during the two hours that errors were
logged. This indicates invalid data. The Qtot column is total flow volume for the hour. With a flow rate of 16.67 LPM, and
a sample time of 50 minutes, this value will be about .834 m
3
per hour. (16.7 * 50 / 1000 = .8335). The remaining six
columns are the six datalogger inputs on the APDA. In this example RH was logged on channel 4, and Ambient
Temperature was logged on channel 6. The other four channels had nothing attached, but will appear in the array
anyway. (The data shown on those channels in this example is only noise.)
