8.7 Array Compatible CSV Options

When File Format is set to Custom_CSV, the browse button next to the field
can be pressed to open the Array Compatible CSV Options dialog box. This
dialog box is used to customize the output file produced by DBExport. It is
most often used to produce output files from table data dataloggers that are
similar to those created by mixed array dataloggers.

If an array ID is desired, select the Include Array ID check box and enter a
value into the field. The value can range from 1 to 1023. The array ID will be
the first value in the array of data.

Select the appropriate timestamp options for the type of timestamp to write to
the file. Each time element will be output as a separate data value in the array
and the data values will be separated by a comma. Selecting Year will output
the year represented by four digits, YYYY (e.g., 2006). The Day will be
represented as a Julian Day. The Hour/Minutes will be represented by four
digits (hhmm). When Midnight is 2400 is selected, the timestamp will reflect
midnight as the current date with 2400 for the Hour/Minutes. Otherwise, the
timestamp will reflect midnight as the next day's date, with the Hours/Minutes
as 0000.

The Max and Min Timestamp Options is used to determine the type of
timestamp that will be used for Maximum and Minimum outputs that include a
timestamp along with the value. You can choose a TOA5 format timestamp
(e.g., 2008-10-27 17:17:33.7), a timestamp that includes Hours/Minutes and
Seconds (produces two values, hhmm and seconds), a timestamp that includes
Hours/Minutes only (hhmm), or a timestamp that includes Seconds only.
