To get ShapeArray data into Gtilt, it needs to be converted and exported from raw data collected with Measurand's SAARecorder software or with a Campbell Scientific data logger.


Exporting from SAARecorder


To get Gtilt data from raw data (.RSA) files collected with SAARecorder, the Export data to SAAView process should be used. In step 3 of this process, where you configure settings for the ShapeArray and the export format, the GTilt template should be selected. When the export and conversion process is complete, a .dat file will be produced in a DIY folder in the same location as the raw data files. This .dat file can be imported into Gtilt to visualize ShapeArray data.



Exporting from Campbell Scientific Data Files with Raw2Data


The steps in the Raw2Data How-to Guide should be followed to convert the raw data. In step 6 where you configure the export format, you should select the Use Template checkbox and from the Template dropdown list, select the Gtilt option. When the export and conversion process is complete, a .dat file will be produced in a DIY folder in the same location as the raw data files. This .dat file can be imported into Gtilt to visualize ShapeArray data.
