CSV file format naming convention
To help identify measurement‑specific data, files within a data package have the measurement unit automatically
included in the file name (e.g. when reading and logging in Conductivity Parameter, automatically logged files
retain the “EC” ID in the file name).
Manual or Autohold logged files retain the distinction between different reading modes in the file name. Users
have the option to input file name:
