Transferring results as a table

The meter can transfer the results to a computer
without any special hardware or software. The only
prerequisite is that the computer has an infrared win-
dow according to the IrdA standard (Infrared data
Association).
The results are transferred as a CSV file. The file exten-
sion CSV in this case stands for Comma Separated
Values.
CSV files can be opened with a text editor or spread-
sheet program, for example.
Where you find the CSV file on your computer depends
on the settings in your operating system for wireless
transmission of files via the infrared window.
The CSV file always contains all the results saved in
your meter. Results already transferred at an earlier
date are transferred again.
160
The CSV file contains the following information:
Serial number: the serial number of the meter
Download Date (DD.MM.YYYY), Download Time
(hh:mm): the date and time when the meter trans-
ferred the results to the computer.
date (dd.MM.yyyy), time (hh:mm), result and unit of
the results saved in the meter.
Flags added to the results, indicated by an "x".
The data (date, time, test result etc.) in this CSV file is
separated by semicolon.
In the CSV file, the date is always displayed in the
format dd.MM.yyyy and the time always in the 24-
hour format (hh:mm). The time format set in the meter
has no influence on the format of the date and time in
the CSV file.
