7.3.1.2.1 Start Time and Date

Select the time and date to start exporting data, thus allowing part of the file to be exported.

7.3.1.2.2 End Time and Date

Select the time and date to stop exporting data.

7.3.1.2.3 Time Format

Select the time format either as Sample number, where each value output will be numbered; Elapsed
time, where the first sample is time 0:00:00 and each sample is then time incremented; or select an
absolute time format, 12 or 24 hour.

7.3.1.2.4 Date Format

Select either month day MM/DD/YYYY (American) or day month representation DD/MM/YYYY
(European) or None to suppress the date.

7.3.1.2.5 Intervals

The Intervals option allows the user to export "Blocks" of data rather than the whole file which
may be too large for certain spreadsheets. The block may be selected as intervals of one
Minute, one Hour, one Day, one Week or one Month. An interval of None exports the entire file.
Select the desired option.
Once the export options have been selected, click on the OK button or press [Enter]. A dialog box will
appear to select or enter the filename (make sure to add a .CSV extension for use with Microsoft Excel)
and location of the export file. When a filename has been selected/entered, click on the Save button and
the data will be exported into that file.
Note: When exporting data using any interval (other than None), the filename must be less than 8
characters to allow for a sequential number for multiple files.

7.3.1.3 Exported File Format - Alarms/Events

To export Alarm/Event data, select File, Export. A dialog box will appear to select or enter the filename
(make sure to add a .CSV extension for use with Microsoft Excel) and location of the export file. When
a filename has been selected/entered, click on the Save button and the data will be exported into that file.
The exported file for an Alarm/Event has a header as follows: "Date", "Time", "Point/Event", "Type",
"Value". Each line afterwards has a line of data that corresponds to each line in the Alarms/Events
window that is being exported. The data on each line follows the format indicated by the labels above.
