13.1 Exporting Data

Data retrieved from a weather station can be exported to a file for further data
processing. From VisualWeather’s main menu, select Tools | Export Data.

Highlight the desired weather station name from the list of Current or Past
Weather Stations
. The names of the data tables associated with the selected
weather station will be displayed.

Select the desired table to be exported in the Select a Data Table list. Next
select the range of data to be exported using the Starting at and Ending at
fields.

By default, exported data will be saved in the <working directory>\Export
folder with a name of <station name>.dat (the working directory is the
directory specified in the install and station name is the name of the weather
station). A different directory can be selected by clicking the Browse button.

Click the Export button to begin exporting the data.

Data is exported in Campbell Scientific’s TOACI1 format (an ASCII comma-
separated format with headings). The exported data can be imported into a
spreadsheet or other software for further data processing.
