Exporting Data History

The Analyzer can export the data history for any valid time range that you specify, either to the serial (RS-232)
port or the USB port.
To export data, follow these steps:
1. Select the Data tab.
2. Press the Export button.
3. Press the Range button to specify a preset time range: 1 Day, 1 Week, All, or Custom.
• If you select a Custom range, press the To Date and From Date buttons and enter the desired time
range values.
4. Press the Export button. Make sure a USB device or serial cable is attached to the Analyzer prior to
pressing the Export button.
5. Indicate the destination port by pressing the USB or Serial button to start the data export.
The data is exported in two formats: comma-separated format (.csv) and an encrypted format for use with
Sievers DataShare 500 software. In addition, the Audit Trail is exported. The files contain the following fields:
Analysis mode, Date, Time, TOC, IC, TC, raw conductivity, and sample temperature. Most spreadsheet programs,
such as Microsoft Excel, can open the .csv file without having to go through an import process.

Setting Up Analyzer Input and Output

Menu selections under the I/O tab allow you to configure data for alarms, analog output, binary input, serial
output and printing.
