10 Exporting data
After reading out into the OTT Orpheus Mini operating program, the measure-
ment and information data can be found in the the "RAWDATA" sub-directory of
the program directory (standard setting: "C:\Program files\OTT\OrpheusMini_CTD\
RAWDATA"). To transfer to an external application, you can export the data in
various formats:
CSV – structured text file in CSV format (Comma-Separated Values)
Excel – Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program
OTT Hydras 3 – raw data format for the OTT Hydras 3 user software
OTT MIS – OTT-specific file format for automatically importing into the
measurement database of the OTT Hydras 3 user software
Using the "Export Options" dialog window, you can set the location for saving
and, with CSV format, various export parameters also. The data remain in the
sub-directory after export. If required, you can specifically delete them.
Info data can only be exported to the OTT Hydras 3 user software.
How to export the data
Step 1 – make export settings:
Click on the "View/Export data" button in the start window.
In the "View/Export data" window, click on the "Export Options" button
(see Figure 17).
Set the path to the location of the required export format (standard setting:
"C:\Program files\OTT\OrpheusMini_CTD\Export"). No path can be set for
the "Excel" format: the operating program automatically opens Microsoft Excel
during the export and displays the data in a new worksheet. In format "Hydras 3"
the "?" button can be used to automatically find the installation directory of
OTT Hydras 3.
In format "CSV": set the "Field separator", "Dec. separator", "Date format"
and "Time format". For the date and time formats, the typical Windows place-
holders can be used.
Step 2 – Exporting data:
Select the required station/sensor in the list (multiple selection possible).
Click on the "Export ..." button.
Confirm message about successful export with "OK".
If required, delete the exported data: click on the "Delete" button.
(Station/sensor must still be selected.)
Confirm the message with "Yes".
