- The last 5 characters represent the type of signal
- NRIO1: level in river in m;
- QRIO1: discharge in river in m3/s,
- PQUIN: precipitation in mm,
- TEMPE: temperature in ºC;
- NEMBA: level in reservoir;
- VEMBA: volume in reservoir in hm3,
- PORCE: percentage of filling in reservoir in %
- Date (day/month/year) and time (hour:minutes)
