Exporting data
You have the options of saving/exporting GCLAS files (the data used to generate the working graph) or card-image
files of concentrations or loads.
GCLAS files (gcl format)
- Start at the tabular data panel. If you wish to export only some of the columns in the tabular data, make sure
that only those columns are visible.
- Right mouse click anywhere in the body of the table to bring up the Reports command box, then left click
on the box. A dialog will display in the upper left corner of the main window. The options on both tabs of the
dialog box are shown below.
- Select the desired options from the pick lists grouped under the Output Choices and Format tabs
in the dialog box. Generally, you should use the defaults that are displayed, but you may want to change the following:
- Rows (either all or selected rows)
- Delimiter (tab, comma, or exclamation point)
- Date (yyyy mm d, yyyy/mm/d, mm/d/y hh:mm:ss, or julian)
- Time (hh mm ss or hh/mm/ss)
- Left click on export. The Export file window will appear; use it to name and save your exported
file.
Concentrations and/or loads (card-image format)
- Start at the computed loads table in the bottom left panel. Right mouse click anywhere in the body of the table
to bring up the Reports command box (shown below), select cardExports, and then select the desired
option to the right.
- The Export file window will appear; use it to name and save your card-image file. (Note: daily
loads for days where the specified computation period or available data represent less than 23 hours will not be
written to card images even though they appear in the GCLAS loading table.)
Streamflow, concentration and load (table format)
- Start at the computed loads table in the bottom left panel. Right mouse click anywhere in the body of the table
to bring up the Reports command box (shown below), and select Print Daily Load Report.

- The Export file window will appear; use it to name and save your daily load report. The daily load report
is a text file that can be viewed or printed with any application suitable for viewing and (or) printing plain
ASCII text (i.e. Wordpad, Emacs, etc.).
