| Description |
5 step procedure. |
An easy to use COL editor with the ability to read in a Davis tab delimited text file.
The user is able to customise the software to understand almost any format of Davis File, whichever columns of data are included.
All elements of the COL form are covered, such as Station Notes & Changes, Black Bulb, Sea Temp etc.
The program takes into account that you may not collect data for all of the COL requirements, and leaves these items blank on your COL form.
|
Start the software, then...
1) Click Open, and select the Davis File.
2) Click "Fill In Grid".
3) Click "Create Col".
4) Enter any details not contained in your Davis file.
5) Click "Send" to fire up your default email software, ready to email the form.
