Data files in the field computer are formatted in proprietary EM61MK2 format. The EM61-MK2
data is saved in one data file with the extension name R61.
Files in the logger format are converted to the DAT61MK2 format during the downloading of
data. These new files have same base name with an added extension name M61. Files in the
DAT61MK2 format can be loaded and processed by the DAT61MK2 program.
While only the DAT61MK2 format is used in data processing, it is strongly advised that data in the
raw (EM61MK2) format be saved as well. In the case of any hardware malfunction, i.e. a damaged
instrument cable, only the file in logger format may indicate the source of the problem. Additionally,
raw data files also contain useful information about the instrument settings used during field work.
Files in the EM61MK2 format can be converted to the DAT61MK2 format at any time using the
Convert Files option of the DAT61MK2 menu.
Description and sample of the EM61-MK2 files in the EM61MK2 format, as well as an example
of a file converted to the DAT61MK2 format are placed in Appendix B.
