(see chapter
4.6.2.5 in the TMS.Software manual

9.1.4 In the Log File
The log files in the cloud, or the files created when reading the backup from a TMSO.CU, are
written as plain text, so they can be viewed with a normal text editor.
However, it is more convenient to import them into a spreadsheet program such as Excel. For
this purpose the files are formatted as CSV (comma separated value), with a tab as cell
separator.
This means that this data can also be processed further if required, e.g. by displaying it in
diagrams for a better overview.
The files begin with a header line with column designations, followed by the individual lines
with measurement data. Each line in turn begins with the UNIX timestamp at which all
subsequent data in that line was recorded.
