Data Export
All recorded files with less
than 65,536 data points
(samples) can be saved as a
CSV file. A CSV (comma sep-
arated values) file contains
the values in a table as a
series of ASCII text lines arranged so that a comma separates
each column. Many applications like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft
Access can read CSV files.
When exporting, the ZP recorder designates the first five rows of
CSV information as statistics.
