5.4 CSV Format

If CSV format is selected, the log is displayed line by line. Each line is separated by the end of line symbol selected
in the Lab Options. There are three types of line content:
Type Purpose
Intro Message showing version numbers of the instrument
Title Column title of the next table of result lines
Result Measurement result or error message
Line Group
Every line within the CSV format contains several semicolon-separated values (ASCII:0x3B), which may be
contained within quotation marks (ASCII:0x22). Whether or not quotations marks are used depends on the value
format; they are not used for measurements or times, but are used for text values.
Intro Line
When the instrument is started, a line is published with version information to prevent future compatibility
problems. This line contains the short name of the device type followed by the version numbers of the mainboard
and the components connected to it. A typical intro line looks like the following:
NOTE:
Software driver must be open when powering on the machine or when changing the Log Format to CSV in order
to generate the intro line and the title line. Changing the settings restarts the logbook and also publishes a new
intro and title line.
Title Line
The intro line is followed by a line with title names for the values of the next result lines. This line helps to make
the text human-readable and generates practical column titles when imported into a spreadsheet. The title line
looks like the following:
"charge"; "sample"; date; value; "dimension; "device-no"; "check"; "message"
