GasClam 2 Software Manual
This folder will be the root folder for GasClam 2 downloads each data
download will be downloaded into a sub-folder using the GasClam 2
"friendly" name e.g.:
My Documents\GasClam 2\Downloads\Site_4 - Bore 06
If there have been several start/stop logging cycles (runs) they can be
saved as one single file or separate files. The file name of single run data
files will end with "s" and the file name of multi-run combined data files
will end with "c". The software will prompt you if you would like to
download as separate files or one combined file.
Important: wait for the "Download Finished" prompt.

6.2. Data File Format

The file name will be the GasClam 2 Name and the date and time logging
was started with either "s" or "c" at the end of the name in the format:
GasClam 2Name_yyyy-mm-dd_hhmm
If the GasClam 2 "friendly" Name is not changed all downloads from that
GasClam 2 will be added to the same folder, so that all the data over
time from one borehole is in the same folder.
Two files are downloaded with each download:
•
".csv" files contains all the recorded parameters in a format that
can be opened by a spreadsheet such as excel. Clicking on the
file will open it in the spreadsheet.
•
Note: The time in the download name is the logging start time
2018-02-28_1705 but the first data row is 28.02.2018 17:07
which is the first sample completed time (2 minute sampling).
•
".GCL" files contain all the recorded parameters in a format that
can be opened by the GasClam 2 software data viewer. Double
click on the file will open it in the GasClam 2 software (see View
Data section).
