Data Retrieval, Processing and Final Storage in the Nile Basin Database
PC208W Datalogger Support Software
PC and Storage Module are now connected. The user can proceed with retrieving data files or other SM4M related
operations. If the connection is not established successfully, a message will pop up as “Standard Prompt Not
Detected”. Recheck the wiring connection and make sure that the Interface and the Storage Module are connected
properly to the power source. Also recheck the COM PORT and then try to connect.
For ease of reference, the above-presented steps are listed in Annex 1.
5.2.3 Retrieving Raw Data Files from Storage Module
During each data transfer from the datalogger to the storage module, the storage module stores this new data
as a separate file. The storage module gives it automatically a new name or it could be changed as desired. This
paragraph presents the user instructions for retrieving raw data files from the SM4M or SM192 Storage Module and
storing them at a desired location (folder/directory) on the PC’s hard drive.
Step B1: Connect SM4M to PC and establish communication. See instructions in paragraph 5.2.2.
Step B2: Click the “Data” tab at the bottom-left. The below window appears.
Note that switching between the various task-specific sub screens (Setup, Programs, Data and Erase) has no
influence on the contents of the Status Box.
Step B3: Mark the “Comma separated” option in the File Format select box. Import of comma separated ASCII files
into MS Access has proven to be flawless and trouble free.
