4.3.5 ARCHIVE CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
CSV FILES
This allows archive fi les to be transferred in comma-separated-values (CSV) format, to a memory device
or, via FTP, to a remote host computer.
Figure 4.3.5c CSV archive menu items
MEDIA FILE FORMAT
For Local Settings only, this allows ‘Binary’, ‘CSV’ or both to be selected for fi le type when archiving. ‘ Bi-
nary’ is the proprietary format used by the instrument and it requires other software (e.g. Review Soft-
ware) to interpret the data, before it can be presented in spreadsheets, shown as if on a chart etc. Binary
fi les have the extension ‘.uhh’.
CSV format is a standard open-fi le format for numeric data. A simple ASCII-based format, it is readable
by a wide range of PC applications as well as being suitable for direct import into many commercial data-
bases. CSV fi les have the extension ‘.csv’.
Note: CSV is ASCII based, and cannot interpret Unicode characters. Some characters available to
the user will therefore be displayed incorrectly in CSV fi les.
If ‘CSV’ or ‘Binary and CSV’ is selected, a number of extra check boxes appear. Figure 4.3.5c above,
shows a typical menu page. Figure 4.3.5d below, shows the effects of enabling the CSV check boxes,
with the exception of ‘CSV use Tab delimiter’ the use of which is as follows:
CSV USE TAB DELIMITER
Despite its name, CSV does not always use commas as separators.
For example, in some countries, the decimal point is represented by a full stop (period), whilst in other ar-
eas, a comma is used. In order to avoid confusion between the comma as a decimal point and the comma
as a separator, a different separator is used, usually the semicolon.
The instrument automatically chooses a separator suitable for use with the ‘Locale’ selected in System
Confi guration (
section 4.6.2
). ‘CSV Use Tab delimiter’ allows the user to override this choice, and force
the instrument to use tabs as separators. This can be particularly useful when moving the data from one
locale to another.
