6.2.2 Importing Saved Data
Data which has been recovered and saved as an ASCII text file with a CSV extension, as
described above, can be opened in most spreadsheet applications
(Microsoft Excel, Google
Sheets, etc.)
. If the application does not recognize the CSV file extension, then refer to the
spreadsheet’s documentation for information on how to manually import comma-delimited
text files.
6.2.1 Downloading Stored Data to a Computer
The combustion test data which was stored in either the analyzer’s Memory Directory
can be downloaded to a computer using the PRS and USB cable that are supplied with
the analyzer.
The downloaded data is stored on the computer’s hard drive – or removable media of the
operator’s choosing – as a comma-separated-value ASCII text file with a CSV extension. This
type of file can be opened by most spreadsheet applications for analysis.
For more information about the installation of the PRS, refer to the operation manual
(P/N: 0024-9552)
which can be downloaded from Bacharach’s website,
