You will need Campbell’s PC200W software (found
on the Campbell Scientific website: http://www.campbellsci.com/pc200w) to extract the binary
data from the memory card and convert it to a text file. Insert the card in a memory card reader
and open the PC200W software.

To upload the data from the
memory card, the file must first be converted to a readable format. Do this by using the
software that came with the data logger and follow the steps below.

seconds). All Climate Measurement files should be stored in the same Output directory in
the future.
g) After converting the card, find the file in the Output directory you selected that starts with
TOA5_CL...(this is the converted file) and upload to the TEAM portal in the “Upload Data”
section of the Data Management Tool, which can be found by clicking the “myTEAM” link
at the top of the main TEAM website. See Section 6.3.1 for instructions on how to upload
this file to the TEAM portal.

As soon as the data has been retrieved from the field and
converted to a readable format they should be uploaded to the TEAM portal following the
directions in Section 6.3.1
6.3 Uploading data to the TEAM portal
Retrieving the data often is essential to detect any data anomalies and problems with the sensors.
There are several ways to retrieve data from the station, but here we only describe one option:
manually through removal of the memory card. We envision having wireless options for data retrieval
in the near future, either through radio, cell phone, or satellite uplink. Until then, it is essential that data
be retrieved every time the station is visited for maintenance.
