Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC
8.3.2.1 File Format
The File Format is used to specify the format in which the data file should be
saved. Select the desired option from the list box:
ASCII Table Data (TOA5) – Data is stored in an ASCII comma separated
format. Header information for each of the data values is included, along
with field names and units of measure if they are available.
Binary Table Data (TOB1) – Data is stored in a binary format. Though
this format saves disk storage space, it must be converted before it is
usable in other programs.
Array Compatible CSV – Data is stored in a user-defined comma
separated format. This option can be used to produce output files from
table data dataloggers that are similar to those created by mixed array
dataloggers. When this option is chosen, the Array CSV Options button
becomes available, so that you can customize the data string for the CSV
file.
If an array ID is desired, select the
Include Array ID
check box and enter
a value into the field. The value can range from 1 to 1023. The array ID
will be the first value in the array of data.
Select the appropriate timestamp options for the type of timestamp to
write to the file. Each time element will be output as a separate data value
in the array and the data values will be separated by a comma. Selecting
Year
will output the year represented by four digits, YYYY (e.g., 2006).
The
Day
will be represented as a Julian Day. The
Hour/Minutes
will be
represented by four digits (hhmm). When
Midnight is 2400
is selected,
the timestamp will reflect midnight as the current date with 2400 for the
Hour/Minutes. Otherwise, the timestamp will reflect midnight as the next
day’s date, with the Hours/Minutes as 0000.
The
Max and Min Timestamp Options
is used to determine the type of
timestamp that will be used for Maximum and Minimum outputs that
include a timestamp along with the value. You can choose to output No
Timestamp, a timestamp that includes Hours/Minutes/Seconds (produces
two values, hhmm and seconds), a timestamp that includes Hours/Minutes
only, or a timestamp that includes Seconds only.
CSIXML – Data is stored in XML format with Campbell Scientific
defined elements and attributes. For more information, refer to Appendix
B,
Campbell Scientific File Formats
.
The file format is reflected in the default filename by the prefix of TOA5,
TOB1, CSV, or CSIXML added to the table name.
8.3.2.2 File Processing
Use Filemarks –
CRBasic dataloggers have a FileMark instruction that allows
you to store a filemark along with the data. These filemarks are ignored by the
LoggerNet or PC400 data collection process. However, in CardConvert you
can convert the file with the
Use Filemarks
option selected, and the file will be
stored as multiple files, based upon the filemarks. Each file created will be
8-88
