location as the .rsqmb file containing the Matlab exported files, like the example shown
Figure 104. Original .rsqmb file (bottom) and new folder created by Matlab Export (top)
Within the Matlab folder, the files will have the structure shown in Figure 105.
Figure 105. Matlab Export Folder Containing Files
System Test and Compass Calibration files are stored in a separate folder, and
individual transects and moving bed measurements are separated into individual .mat
files. The structure of the .mat files is outlined in Appendex E.
Please note that if a compass calibration was not performed during a measurement,
there will be no compass calibration folder exported. This can occur if multiple
measurements are performed at the same site, but only one compass calibration was
performed prior to all the measurements. In this case, the user can manually add a
compass calibration to a measurement by using the Other Data function (see Section
8.7.2 ASCII Summary
