4-3-9 Creating, Reading, and Writing CSV Files (Saving)
Creating CSV Files
Based on the CSV-format template file (Sample1.csv) provided with this software, it is
possible to create files in CSV format for data link tables created manually using
spreadsheet software (such as MS Excel).
Including the Sample1.csv file, there are three types of files provided as reference
material. The other two, in addition to Sample1.csv, are Sample1.xls (which describes
tags and data), and Sample1.cl2 (data link table file format).
