5 MANAGING LOGGED DATA
5.1 Unloading Data
[Tools][Unload Logged Data]
The unloading and viewing of data from a device is dependent on the device and the functionality of that
device. The primary function of the device will be as a datalogger. The structure of the data file(s) will
need to conform to the file structure defined in the section titled Device Configuration.
Primary Data File Name
This displays the directory path and file name. Use the [Browse] button to display a listing of current data
file names. You can then select a file to replace/append or enter the name of a new data file. Although
there are two default file types available (.dat and .csv), the actual contents will be the same.
If in any doubt as to the integrity of existing files or the data being unloaded, it is recommended that you
create a new file. The files can later be edited, if necessary, using cut and paste tools in a standard editor
such as Microsoft NotePad, or imported to a spreadsheet for further editing and processing.
