View Recorded Data
Recorded data is stored in either Binary (.bin) or Comma Separated Values (.csv) format,
depending on what was selected at the initiation of data recording. The files can be found in the
directory specified at that time or in the default directory on the host computer desktop.
CSV files can be viewed with Microsoft Excel, Quattro Pro, Open Office, or other CSV editors
and spreadsheet programs.
Data recorded in Binary format requires a translation program utilizing the LORD Sensing
MIP Data Communications Protocol (DCP) to make it user-readable.
1. To record data, select the Arm Recording icon at any time.
2. Select the type of data file to generate: Binary or CSV. The CSV file is the most common
and can be viewed and processed by data editors such as Microsoft Excel.
3. To save a settings file when creating a data file, check the box next to this option. This
settings file is the same as selecting Export Settings from the Settings menu.
