Overview
The Obserview format is a ASCII data file format exported from the Obserview system. Each file may contain only one time series.
The time series are defined by the file name, there is no information on the ASCII file on the location or parameter.
Configuration
The Obserview file does not conmtain a location nor a parameter ID. To import these series into FEWS you have to map the file name to both the set FEWS location ID and parameter ID. The configuration of the import module instance is not different from any other import type. Because the file does not contain any parameter unit information, the "external" unit can be specified in the import module instance.
Example of the import module instance:
<import>
<general>
<importType>OBSERVIEW</importType>
<folder>$IMPORT_FOLDER$/Obsv</folder>
....
</general>
<timeSeriesSet>
<moduleInstanceId>Import_Obsv</moduleInstanceId>
<valueType>scalar</valueType>
<parameterId>H.meting</parameterId>
<locationSetId>ObsLocSet</locationSetId>
<timeSeriesType>external historical</timeSeriesType>
<timeStep unit="nonequidistant"/>
<readWriteMode>add originals</readWriteMode>
<synchLevel>1</synchLevel>
</timeSeriesSet>
....
<externUnit parameterId="Q.meting" unit="0.01 m3/s"/>
<externUnit parameterId="H.meting" unit="mm"/>
</import>
Example of the id mapping:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<idMap version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/idMap.xsd">
<map internalParameter="H" internalLocation="Loc1"
externalParameter="Trend Putterland.txt" externalLocation="Trend Putterland.txt"/>
<map internalParameter="Q" internalLocation="Loc1"
externalParameter="Afvoer Putterland.txt" externalLocation="Afvoer Putterland.txt"/>
.....
Example file
The ASCII file contains three columns divided by a ";".
- Column 1: date (format DD-MM-YYYY)
- Column 2: time (HH:mm:ss)
- Column 3: value
