Either the data chart or load chart (selectable through the Window menu) may be saved.
Bitmap (*.bmp)
Selecting the bitmap option saves the area of the data chart which is currently visible to a bitmap picture file. This option will not allow access to the actual data for analysis or the data to be reloaded to the data logger for display.
Comma Separated Values (*.csv)
Selecting to export as .csv exports all of the chart data to a .csv file complete with start and stop markers which can then be analysed in 3rd party packages. Information on missed or clipped points is also included. .csv files are automatically associated with Microsoft Excel if it is installed.
Please note that Excel can only handle a maximum of 65536 lines of data. This limits the amount of logged data that can be viewed from a .csv file. If there are more than 65536 lines to write to the .csv file, the later lines are not available. It is possible to get around this by editing the .csv in a text editor (such as notepad), re-saving and then opening in Excel. This file format cannot be reloaded to the data logger for display.
Text (*.txt)
Exporting as text write all data points and headers to a text file. Unlike .csv files, text files are not limited to 65536 data points. This will allow access to the logged data for external analysis, but cannot be loaded into the data logger to display the chart.
Data Log Format (*.dlog)
The data log format cannot be used externally by other programs. It can however be used to reload previously logged traces to the load chart window. When a .dlog file is loaded, it can be re-exported as a bitmap, .csv or .txt file.
