Depending on the region and language setting of your PC,
measurement data might be formatted incorrectly by Excel
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 EC300M utilizes a decimal as the radix, so a temperature of 31.1

If a data file is opened in Excel
