...

Imports time series data from Diver loggers. The files have a sort of Windows ini file format with file extension (*.mon). The format of the MON ini files is not well defined. Many programs interpret the structure differently and have various names for the ini file sections and parameters.

  • Wiki MarkupSections: Section declarations start with '\[' and end with '\]'; i.e. '\[Logger settings\]' or '\[Instrument info\]'.
  • Parameters or item: this is the content of a section with an '=' sign between the key and the value; i.e. "location = abc"

The Date format used is: "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"

Configuration (Example)

A complete import module configuration consists of an ID Mapping file and a Import Module Instance file.

ModuleConfigFiles

The files can contain a flexible number of channels, where a channel will contain information on one parameter. Example files with 2 and 3 channels will be shown, when multiple channels/parameters need to be imported a <timeSeriesSet> needs to be configured for each channel/parameter. To illustrate this an example config for an import with 3 channels is given.

Configuration (Example)

A complete import module configuration consists of an ID Mapping file and a Import Module Instance file.

ModuleConfigFiles

The following example of an Import Module Instance will import the time series as The following example of an Import Module Instance will import the time series as equidistant series for timezone GMT+1 with a time step of 1 hour. Many times the MON files do not save the data at rounded hourly tims, therefore a tolerance has been added to map the imported data to correct hourly interval time series.

IdMapFiles

ID mapping fefines mappings between Diver MON and FEWS parameters and locations. Remember that ID mapping is case sensitive.

Here is an example config file for an import file with three channels:
