Creating a Data File (DR - EXPLORER - NEW) (cont.)
Seven options are available. (For further information on file types, refer to Appendix B.)
•
Linear
- A one-dimension file with sequential numeric values as location labels. Often used for tank truck and similar applications.
Accepts up to 99,999 data points in sequential locations. Each point is placed in a location. User parameters are Reading Type
(Standard —Thickness Measurement only or Extended —Thickness Measurement, Velocity and other values), Start Point, and End
Point.
•
Grid
- A three-dimension file with grid coordinates for locations and sequential numeric points. Often used for storage tank, large
diameter fluid conductors, and similar applications. The user can build a file with up to 702 rows and 702columns. Each row and
column meet to establish a coordinate location. Accepts up to 9 points per location.The starting value for the grid coordinates can be
specified within the range allowed. The starting value for the POINT sequential numeric values must be one. Parameters are Reading
Type ((Standard —Thickness Measurement only or Extended —Thickness Measurement, Velocity and other values), Grid Labeling,
Starting Row and Column, Ending Row and Column, Start Point, and End Point.
•
Custom Linear
- A two-dimension file with user-defined location names and sequential numeric point labels. Often used for process
piping (where measurements are taken at 90-degree intervals around the pipe) and similar applications. Accepts up to 999 data points
in each location. Up to 9,999 sequential locations are allowed. User parameters are Reading Type (Standard or Extended), Number of
Locations, Location Label Length, Start Point, and End Point.
