INTERFACING WITH OTHER DATA BASES
To be universally compatible with all other databases, spreadsheets, and word processors, the data is stored in a text file named
Log.txt. Each record (row) is the results of one test, including the employee’s name, ID, test date, test time, test results, and
resistance values. Each of these fields is separated by a comma, so the file is actually in .CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.
Importing and exporting to common databases is explained below.
The software can directly read the employee names from a company data base – see accessing names from a remote data base in
the setup section.
