3.5.4 Archive File Types
Archive files are created in one of two user-selectable formats:
Text (comma separated values [.csv]) – see Section 3.6,

or
Secure binary encoded – see Section 3.7, page 41
All archive files created by the instrument are given filenames
automatically but each type of archived file is given a different file
extension depending on whether Text or Binary format has been
selected during archive configuration – see Section 4.5.6,
page 73. File types and extensions for Text files are shown in
Table 3.1. File types and extensions for Binary files are shown in
