Recommended Directory Structure
4.1 General
For standardization and instruction purposes, this chapter proposes a Recommended Directory Structure. The user
is free to modify this if another system would better suit his or her particular computer organization. However,
the instructions presented in this manual are based on the proposed structure. Modification of it will require
corresponding adjustment of commands concerning file locations.
4.2 PC208W Files
Figure 3 presents the Recommended Directory Structure for all files related to PC208W Datalogger Support
Software. A subdivision has been made between the PC208W program files and the ones actually used in the data
processing, the ‘work’ files.
Recommended Directory Structure
The above proposition calls for the creation of a main folder called CAMPBELL on the C drive. This will consist of two
sub-folders named FILES and PC208W. The datalogger support software PC208W should be installed in the latter
one, see paragraph 3.2.
The FILES folder will be sub-divided into three parts: INPUT, OUTPUT and PARAMETER.
The INPUT sub-folder is destined for all data files retrieved from the SM192 storage module. By default these files
are give a DAT extension.
The OUTPUT sub-folder is allocated for all processed, comma separated ASCII files, with TXT extension. They
result from the separation and file restructuring exercise in Report (a.k.a. Split).
The PARAMETR sub-folder will be used to store all predefined Split files, having a PAR extension.
Use of the above mentioned files is discussed in chapter 5. The proposed structure is again illustrated in the
following Windows Explorer screen.
