File Types
5.3
The ABT 4650 automatically saves two files for each recording. The file types are:
•
*.csv
•
*.sec
The CSV file is in a standard format which will open in almost any software
package (e.g. Excel, Word, Notepad etc). This file contains all the Start and Finish
information along with all the recorded data in an easy to read layout.
The SEC file contains exactly the same information as the CSV file but is
encrypted. It is only possible to view this 'secure' file through the 'View Results'
screen (see section 5.2) however it is not possible to edit it. This file is tamper-
proof and is suitable for auditing purposes.
