Standard Logger Interface File Format

The Standard Logger Interface file format is an ASCII comma separated format.

Key words in the file are used to denote the record type as follows:

text	Used for comment lines. There is no limit to the number of comment lines
ch	Logger channel. This is followed by the channel number, the type of measurement (either "flow"or "pressure"), and the units (supported units are as for Time Series Data File Format). Channel number locates the reading within the data record. For example, a channel number of 2 means that the readings will be second in the data record.
time	This keyword is followed by Start date (dd/mm/yy), Start time (hh:mm), Logging interval, Units (hour, min, sec) for the logging interval, and the number of data records in the file.
data record	There is no keyword for this record type. Each record is a series of comma separated values, with no restrictions on range or number of decimal places.
