Text and Excel Import Format
To import data from a file, it must be set up in a specific format. The source data must
be in a text (.TXT) or MSExcel (.XLS) file, containing two columns of data.
The first column must be in column A (far left side of the page) and it must contain the
elapsed time data.
The second column must be in column B (immediately adjacent to the time data,
separated by Tab), and it must contain water level data. This may be in the format of
depth to water level, drawdown, or water elevations (amsl or above a benchmark). An
example is shown below.
NOTE: Be sure to select the water level coordinate system for the source file
before importing (i.e. Time - Water Level (TOC) Time - Water Level (amsl), etc.)
from the drop-down menu above the measurements window. For more
information on the coordinate system see page 95.
The source file may contain a header in the first or second row; AquiferTest will
ignore this during the import.
AquiferTest will not convert data from different units during the import. If the
units in the source file are different from that defined in the current pumping/slug
test, you can either change the units later, or ensure they are properly defined
before importing.
