      Where can I find a manual for Atlas?

      The online manual is located within the Atlas account and can be accessed in the Help section of your account.

      What data formats does Atlas accept?

      Atlas accepts only text files. The most common formats are listed below:

      Campbell Scientific Table Based TA05 Format

      Description: “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss”,recno,value1,value2,value3,value4,value n,

      Example: “2008-01-06 12:00:00”, 3068.8,11.5,3045.5,12.6,

      Notes:
      – date stamp is quoted (” “)
      – date is fixed: yyyy-mm-dd. No variations are allowed.
      – date separators are hyphens ( – )
      – recno is a record number. Atlas does not use the number, but requires at least a blank field.
      – decimal character is a dot ( . )
      – value separators are commas ( , )
      – TA05 normally has a header. Atlas ignores the header, if present.
      Serial Number Format

      Description: “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss”, recno ,”serial1″,value1,value2,”serial2″, value1,value2,value3,

      Notes:
      – Same as Campbell table format, but has embedded serial numbers.
      – date stamp, decimals, and value separators are same as in Campbell format above.
      – serial numbers are quoted. Atlas uses serial numbers to assign values to the proper sensor.
      – each serial number can be followed by an arbitrary number of values (if necessary).
