6. Saving logger output in Spreadsheet format
The Rain and River dump data from a logger may be saved in Spreadsheet format by pressing F8
at the beginning of a session. The user will be prompted to enter a file name. (If the name already
exists, the user will be asked if they wish to overwrite the old file) Then when a dump rain DUR
or dump river DURV command is performed, the data is rearranged so that it can be read by a
spreadsheet package such as Excel. The data appears in the following format :-
File Data
Comment
Sydney_0000001_HS0925_ 0.2 >>Logger name, ID and bucket size
YYMMDDHHMMSS 0.2 separated by ‘_’
YYMMDDHHMMSS 0.4 >>Logger events stamped with Year
YYMMDDHHMMSS 0.6 >>Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second
YYMMDDHHMMSS 0.8 >>delimited by a TAB from the
YYMMDDHHMMSS 1.0 >>accumulated rainfall

YYMMDDHHMMSS 0.4

Record_End >>End of Dump File
To close the file simply press F8 again. (The file will also be closed if you exit the program.) Pressing
F6 will display the current configuration as well as the file name if a session is being saved to a file.

To exit the program press the "esc" key.
