Viewing Data Files

Viewing Data
After you have downloaded the data file (and error file, if necessary), you
can view the data file by using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft
Files
Excel.
The data file format is a comma-separated value (".csv") text file format.
The WinPDM software application allows the data files to be stored where
needed by browsing to the desired folder.
Using a spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel), open the data file
(Figure 4–11).
At the top of the data file will be the data entered into the Program Shift
screen when you first programmed the sample run. Below the program shift
data, are the logging parameters that were stored only at the beginning and
end of the sample run (header/footer information).
Below the Header/Footer logged parameters are the data values of the
logging parameters that the unit saved during the sample run. The time
interval is set to 60 seconds. Therefore, the data records are 1-minute
increments.
