5.5.1 File Format
Before you attempt to “ get” (collect) any data you should ensure that you are
using the file format required.
Comma Separated
This format has array elements separated by commas. No element identifiers
are included and all leading zeros and trailing zeros after the decimal point are
removed. Each array is terminated with a carriage return and line feed. Comma
separated format is comparatively compact, can be read when printed, and can
be imported into most data analysis packages (e.g., if you use a .CSV file
extension, Microsoft Excel will auto-import the file).
An example is given below.
101,279,1413,12.68,24.75,75.3,25.42,75.1
101,279,1414,12.68,24.75,75.2,25.42,75.2
101,279,1415,12.68,24.77,75.4,25.49,75.1
101,279,1416,12.68,24.77,75.4,25.55,75.2
101,279,1417,12.68,24.78,75.4,25.42,75.2
101,279,1418,12.68,24.80,75.3,25.35,75.2
ASCII with Array IDs
This format is ASCII with Array Identifiers. Each data value is preceded by an
identifier indicating its position in the array. This format requires the most disk
space on the computer, and can be difficult to use in some data analysis
packages.
An example of this format is:
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1413. 04+12.68 05+24.75 06+075.3 07+25.42 08+075.1
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1414. 04+12.68 05+24.75 06+075.2 07+25.42 08+075.2
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1415. 04+12.68 05+24.77 06+075.4 07+25.49 08+075.1
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1416. 04+12.68 05+24.77 06+075.4 07+25.55 08+075.2
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1417. 04+12.68 05+24.78 06+075.4 07+25.42 08+075.2
01+0101. 02+0279. 03+1418. 04+12.68 05+24.80 06+075.3 07+25.35 08+075.2
This format is also ambiguous for arrays of 100 or more data values. It is
therefore not recommended for purposes other than printing.
As Stored
When this option is used the software does not perform any decoding on the
data in the card or module. Data are read out of the module and written to disk
“ as it is” (8-bit data).
If data has been stored from a datalogger in a binary format, this option writes
the data to disk in the same format. This is the most compact format for data
storage on disk, but the data needs to be decoded before it can be read. SPLIT
(see Section 3) can be used to decode the data. If you wish to decode data with
your own software, refer to the appropriate datalogger Operator’s Manual.
