Appendix D Notes on saving the event file as .csv

Opening the .csv file with Excel corrupts the time column.
When saving the event file as a .csv and then opening this file with Excel, the data in the time column
gets corrupted. The reason is that Excel automatically formats this column as a type "general" and
therefore tries to interpret the time as a number. The work around is to save the file as a .txt, and then
when opening this file with Excel tell Excel to format the time column as text.
Download .csv button prompts a yellow script bar blocking the yes/no question box.
The DMS-3K IP address must be in the trusted zone. Or, in IE, you will see a yellow bar with a script
warning when you try to download a .csv file, follow these steps to configure your browser.
To add your DMS-3K to the trusted zone:
1. From within Internet Explorer, click "Tools", in the drop-down menu, click "Internet Options".
2. In the "Internet Options" dialog box, select the "Security" tab.
3. From Zones, select "Trusted sites" (large check mark).
4. Below Zones and next to "Trusted sites", click the "Sites" button.
5. You will be prompted with the following dialog box:
Enter your unit's IP address in the top field and click the "Add" button which will add the IP address to
the trusted zone under "Websites".
6. Click Close, then OK. Page 180
