Data Logger File Format

Both single column and multiple column data logger files can be read by Infinite Extent. In most cases, header information does not need to be removed before loading.

Single Column File Format

In single column format, data is in a single column of alternating time and drawdown, as shown below.

Multiple Column File Format

Multiple column data logger files can be read by Infinite Extent. The data should be in columns separated by either spaces or tabs. Each individual column can be independently assigned to time or drawdown. Infinite Extent can not read beyond twenty columns of data.

Here is an example of a six column data logger file. Time is in the first column and drawdown in the remaining five columns. Infinite Extent will correctly read the file even without removing the header.
