FlexLine plus, Data Management
Measurement data are stored in chronological order – line by line - on the instru-
ment.The XML data format and other format files do not output data chronologically
but sort the data in separate blocks. During the data export in XML data format or
other format files, the instrument has to search the whole memory until the required
data is found. Therefore, the data transfer time varies between formats. The GSI data
format has the best transfer speed-performance.
A '+', '-', '.' or alphanumerical characters should not be used as delimiter values in ASCII
files. These characters can also be part of the point ID or coordinate values and if so,
will generate errors where they occur in the ASCII file.
Road Data, Format and Backup data types, and the ASCII data format, are only avail-
able for data exports to a USB memory stick, not via the RS232 serial interface.
All jobs, formats, codelists and configurations will be stored in the backup folder
created on the USB memory stick. The job data will be stored as individual database
files for each job, which can then be imported again. Refer to "13.3 Importing Data".
Job data can be exported from a job in dxf, gsi, csv and xml file types, or any other
user-defined ASCII format. A format can be defined in Instrument Tools Format
Manager. Refer to the online help of Instrument Tools for information on creating
format files.
