Opening The Data File With Excel - Geotech EcoSense pH100A User Manual

Opening the Data File with Excel®
Depending on the region and language setting of your PC, measurement
data might be formatted incorrectly by Excel® when the data file is opened.
This is sometimes encountered with German set as the PC language,
as a German date format typically utilizes a decimal (DD.MM.YYYY).
The pH100M utilizes a decimal as the radix, so a temperature of 31.1 is
sometimes interpreted by Excel® as 31. Jan when German is set as the PC
language.
If a data file is opened in Excel® and measurement data is incorrectly
interpreted as something other than a number, please follow these steps:
1. Open a blank Excel® spreadsheet.
2. Go to the Data tab and select From Text.
3. Choose to Import the data file you have copied to your PC. Don't
select the original data file that is still on the instrument.
4. Under Step 1 of the Text Import Wizard, choose Delimited.
5. Under Step 2 of the Text Import Wizard, choose Semicolon.
