10. DATA HANDLING

10.1. Data Format

Once an inclinometer survey has been completed, the readings are saved to the
database on the ASD. The data can be viewed on the ASD using the Application, as
described earlier in section 9.2 of this manual.
For detailed analysis, either automated or manual, the recorded values need to be
transferred to another device. This can be done by USB / email / Bluetooth or other
means.
If '.csv' format is selected, the exported data file format is ASCII, making it commonly
accessible via many software packages, and small in size.
Geosense® has worked closely with 'Deep Excavations Inc', to enable PC based
data handling via their 'Site Master' Inclinometer Data Presentation Software
package. Data exported from the ASD can be simply and easily imported into Site
Master for clear and effective computation and presentation. For details refer to
Geosense® Ltd Sales or Support departments.
The structure of an exported file is detailed below. It comprises a header that
includes details of the site, borehole, equipment, survey and operator, followed by
strings of data. Below is an example of the information included in the header and
its 'comma separated' layout (as opened in a Text Editor).
