Thank-you for the advice. I appreciate how simply and clearly you stated the steps - I can definitely build from what you have explained.

Hello,

I am new to using KiDAT/WISKI, and I am trying to run an 'example' file through KiDAT, and then enter the output files into WISKI. I have instructions to use the following exchange number structure: RegExp(<FileName>,(A-z)-9)+,1)_Cell(<CurrentColumn>,0). I understand that the Cell(<CurrentColumn>,0) is providing the parameter names, and that the FileName is supposed to provide essential information to let WISKI know where the data is going, however, my file name is WISKI Example...

Can anyone guide me as to how the file name should look/what it should contain to result in an appropriate exchange number structure? I have a station number, and a file number (associated with a logger, I believe). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am assuming that the parameters must be assigned to the station and match the column header names in the import file. Does the time series also have to be created prior to importing the data?

Thank-you,

Christine

Hi Steve,

I am a student working with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. I am currently tasked with importing water quality data into WISKI, however, the configuration file created specifically for the lab reports appears to have been removed from the system. I have created a new configuration file that seems to import most of the data but I am having trouble resolving a couple of issues.

The main issue is that the analysis methods for a couple of the more recently added parameters are not being identified by the parameter method number. Both have the same short name (PPUT; Phosphorous, total,) and all of the other parameters are being recognized by the parameter method number. When I switch to either of the other two method selections (name or short name) I run into problems with other parameters, receiving the message that parameter method combinations for that particular parameter are not assigned to the measuring program.

The other message that I am receiving is that the units are not identified (for all parameters). I have tried mapping the units from the import file to all three options for units (name, short name, symbol) but all come back saying that the units are not recognized. When the data is actually imported, the units do register within the sample results. I am wondering if this is part of a larger problem with the configuration.

Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I also saw that you posted a water quality import configuration file. I have downloaded it, and if I cannot resolve my current issues I may try to work with your configuration file.

Thank-you in advance for any suggestions,

Christine
