Date and Time Format: If the "Use Excel (Y1900) Date/Time Format" checkbox is
checked, the Date and Time format dropdown controls below it will be disabled. The date
and time is saved in a numeric format that can be readily formatted in MS Excel and is
equal to the number of seconds since 1/1/1900 (the fractional part amounts to the elapsed
time, the day the measurement took place). If the "Use Excel (Y1900) Date/Time
Format" checkbox is not checked, the Date and Time formats can be individually set via
their respective dropdown controls.
Array Content: The array content can be changed to include or exclude the sensor name
as well as the raw readings (the default selection) (before conversion by the gage factor)
of the sensor. Some Geokon sensors may contain up to six individual vibrating wire
gages, therefore checking "Include Raw Readings" will add seven additional columns
(six cells plus the average) to the export data.
Report Content: The data "report" can be changed to include or exclude column header
text as well as report header text. Please refer to Appendix D for an example of column
header and report header text. The file extension for the generated file can also be
changed from ".csv" to ".txt". If ".txt" is selected as the data file extension, then all the
column data will be separated by tabs instead of commas. If ".csv" file extension is
selected and Regional Settings of the handheld unit are not set to "English (United
States)" then all column data will be separated by a semicolon (;) instead of a comma (,)
In addition to exporting data files from a single sensor, an entire project's worth of data
can also be exported. If a project element is selected (in the Project Explorer) when "File"
menu item, "Export – Data" is tapped, the initial window shown will be a dialog similar
to the Export Data window (Figure 60 above), but instead of selecting files, the dialog
window allows the user to select the sensors that data will be exported from (Figure 63).
