In previous versions of ESdat rainfall data could be imported into a specific "Surface Water Flow" table.  This option is still available, however alternative option is to import using the "Time-series logger" functionality.  The "Time-series logger" functionality has the advantage that trigger levels can be imported included on graphs.

 

Often it is necessary to convert the raw logger data into a calculated flow.  This can be achieved by use of a "Post Import Calculation", or by creating custom database tables to suit the paramater requirements of the particular flow calculation.

 

See "Post Import Calculations" for further information on the first option.

 

The data tables and relationships for a custom setup for a particular flume scenario is shown below.  The outputs used the parameters to automatically calculate the flows based on the flume type and the input data.
