Tips on Saving Data
Note: these USGS Illinois WSC real-time data web pages use an older interface and eventually will be replaced by the USGS national real-time data web pages located at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/il/nwis/rt. Please update any bookmarks to use the national real-time data pages. If you have any questions, please email gs-w-il_NWISWeb_Maintainer
When you select Retrieve Data on the retrieval form a
page containing the data in tab-delimited format will appear. Lines
beginning with # are comments. You may select your browser's
Save or Save As option (in the
File menu in most graphical browsers) to save the
data.
Note for X-Mosaic users:
When saving tab-delimited (RDB) text files to a local disk, do not use the
"save as" command after viewing the resultant data. Selecting "save as" will
cause the tabs to be converted to spaces, which will make the files
incompatible with rdb software. Instead, select "load to local disk" under
the Options menu and then select Retrieve Data. Be sure
to turn off "load to local disk" when you would prefer to see the pages on
your screen.
