each sensor when converting raw data to precessed data. This
is the default file type.
Raw Data Excel File (.xls): Saves the downloaded data as
raw data so you can apply appropriate processing. The raw
data is separated into each type for sensors that have multiple
measurement types.
DataTrac Data File (.dxd): Saves the file in a format that
DataTrac can import.
Processed Data Text File (.txt): Performs the same func-
tion as a processed Excel file, but the data is saved as a tab
delimited text file instead of a binary
EchoLink Raw Data (.csv): Saves the data in the spread-
sheet file, the same comma delimited format as the older EchoLink
software.
Raw Data (.csv): Saves the raw data in the form downloaded
form the logger.
The DataTrac file format (.dxd) is a useful way to store data for later
manipulation. Each .dxd file contains information about ECH2O
logger settings, identity, and status along with the raw data for each
sensor. ECH2O Utility processes a .dxd file into a processed data
Excel file, a raw data Excel file, or a processed text file. This allows
you to re-process your raw data with different settings or file formats
as needed.
