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,

Example: “2011-10-27 22:00:00”,“33853”,12.86,7.137,“15766”,12.77,0.558,6543,

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).
Atlas Format

Description: dd/mm/yyyy;hh:mm:ss;value1;value2;value3;value4

Example: 01/27/2008;12:00:00;3068.8;11.5;3045.5;12.6

Notes:
– date is separated from time by a semi-colon ( ; ).
– date order can be: dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd, etc.
– date separator is a forward slash ( / )
– decimal character is a dot ( . )
