Exporting Water Level Data to a Text File

RockWorks | Borehole Manager | File |
Export | Aquifers | Aquifer Data -> Text File (Single Track w/ Filtering)

This program will export to a text file the borehole ID, XY coordinates, and the depth or elevation or thickness of a selected Aquifer for selected boreholes for selected date(s). This can be used to verify data stored in the database, or to model the data in another program.

Step-by-Step Summary

Menu Options

• Aquifer: Click here to select which aquifer is to be exported.
• Date/Time Filter: Insert a check in this box - on the far right side of the current program window - to export measurements for a specific date or range of dates.  If you leave this un-checked the program will output all of the measurements, for all listed dates. 
  • Exact: Click in this button if you wish to enter a specific date for the measurements to be exported.  Enter into the prompt or choose from the calendar the specific date. 
  • Range: Click in this button if you prefer to enter a beginning and ending date to define the range of dates to be included in the export list. Type the dates into the Start and End prompts or pick dates from the calendar. 
• Data type: Expand this item to select the desired Z value in the exported file (observed depth, computed upper elevation, lower elevation, or observed thickness).
  
• Output file: Click on this prompt to enter a name to assign the new file the program will create. The default file name extension is TXT.
• Include Column Titles: Check this box if the first row in the output file should contain the column titles.
• Column Delimiter: Click on the button to the right to select the character(s) to be used to separate the output columns (space, tab, comma, etc.)
• Edit/View Output File:  Check this box if the output file should be automatically loaded into the RockWorks text editor.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the RockWorks Borehole Manager program tab. 
2. Be sure there is aquifer data listed for one or more boreholes.
3. Be sure the boreholes to be processed (if more than one) are shown as Enabled in the borehole listing.
4. Select the File | Export | Aquifers | Aquifer Data -> Text File (Single Track w/ Filtering) menu option. 
5. Enter the requested menu items, discussed above. 
6. Click the Process button to continue.

The program will extract the selected data from the database, and record the borehole ID, XY coordinates, and requested Z value (depth, elevation, thickness) in the output file. If requested the data will be displayed in the RockWorks editor window.
