Select Export file format: PRN to setup a format if you wish to export data to another
program. See Section 4.1, File Menu for more information. The software determines the correct
format to specify to which you want to export data. Consult the manual of the destination software
to determine the compatible format.
The three export format choices PC6000 allows are:
Printer format (PRN):
Select this option to export data in exactly the same format as it would be sent to a printer. All page
headings, column headings, and form feeds are present in the export file.
Comma & Quote (“ “) delimited format (CDF):
Select this option to export data in a format that encases all strings of data in double quotes, and
separates each option on each line with a comma (or other delimiter character). There will be no
spaces on any line unless they are inside a string.
Example: "12/31/92","23:59:59",123.45,12.3,123
Space delimited format (SDF):
Select this option to export data in a format with fixed-column fields, which can be string or
numeric. Strings and dates are left justified in their field, numbers are right justified. Strings are
not encased in quotes. Lines are fixed width, and columns are apparent when viewing the file.
Field widths are as follows:
•
title is 80 characters
•
parameter names and units are 8 characters each
•
numbers are 8 digits including the radix separator and decimal digits
•
formatted dates are two 8 character strings separated by 1 space
•
separated dates are six 3-digit values
•
combined dates are an 8-digit number and an 8 character string separated by 1 space
•
Julian dates are 10 digits
•
numeric dates are 13 digits
•
relative dates are 9 digits
Example: 12/31/92 23:59:59 123.45 12.3 123
Select Default scaling technique: or Automatic or Default parameters per plot: 2 to modify the
default values for reports and plots. These options are described in detail in Section 4.1.1, Modify.
The Setup menu determines what the default scaling technique and parameters per plot should be
for each new data file. Change the values here to modify these options for future reports and plots.
To modify these options only for a current file, see Section 4.1, The File Menu.
