Analysing Data in External Applications
If you want to analyse the test results using external software, you can save the data as a CSV file (Comma
Separated Values). CSV files can be opened with a text editor or spreadsheet program.
The CSV file contains all test results saved in the meter. Test results transferred at an earlier date are
transferred again.
1. Press the
Save file button
on the user interface.
Depending on the configuration of the PC, the CSV file may be directly opened in a spreadsheet
program. In this case, you can save the data using the
Save function of the spreadsheet program.
2. In the dialog box that opens, select the option to save the file.
Where you find the CSV file on the PC depends on the settings in the operating system for data
download.
The CSV file contains the following information:
• Serial number: Serial number of the meter.
• Download date, download time: date and time when the meter transferred the test results to the
computer.
• Date, time, result and unit of the results saved in the meter.
• Flags added to the results, indicated by an
X.
In the CSV file, the date is always displayed as DD.MM.YYYY and the time as 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.
Security Settings within the Internet Browser
The settings of the Internet browser can influence working with reports. The reports use pages with active
content (JavaScript). This active content can be suppressed by security settings in the browser, causing
warnings or restricted functionality. If this happens, check the Internet browser settings.
In many cases, you can create different security settings for using the Internet and working with reports (for
example, at user login to the PC or by defining user profiles in the browser).
If you select the Internet browser security settings appropriately (for example,
Allow active content to run
in files on My Computer), you can work with reports without any restrictions.
