Opening an XDQ File
The XDQ file type is primarily associated with Harvest.
What is an XDQ file?
XDQ files mostly belong to Harvest by Hydro-Logic Ltd, Isodaq Division. Hydro-Logic is an independent UK hydrometric and hydrological consultancy. We provide specialist hydrological services, hydrometric services, Isodaq telemetry and data systems. Harvest retrieves data from a Hawk XT and stores it in a tree format of folders based on the Group and Tag stored at the outstation. Each time an outstation is polled, a new XDQ data file is created. Data file names have the format YYYYMMDDHHMM.XDQ. The XDQ data files contain configuration information as well as time series or event data. The header of an .XDQ data file contains a full list of all configuration parameters, not just those used to set up the outstation. The data in these files can be viewed using free software on the Hydro-Logic site. Select the Download link on their menu.
