For site data or Waveshape data: filename.txt
For Datalogger data: filename.csv
5. On PC type the proper command for the data desired ( Logger, Site, or DP) and then [Enter].
6. The data should begin streaming on the HyperTerminal screen.
7. Wait for EOT (End OF Transmission) to be displayed.
8. Close the file by pointing to Transfer, drag to Capture Text and click Stop button.
Close the Terminal or HyperTerminal Program.
You may now close the Terminal program. The file(s) you have downloaded are now saved in the
location you selected. You may now import the file you have saved into the appropriate program (i.e.,
MS word for site data, or MS Excel for Datalogger or Waveshape data for graphing or analysis).
The datalogger contains data that has its fields separated by commas. By using the file extension
“.csv” (comma separated values) suggested earlier, the data will import directly into MS Excel without
any further modification. For the waveshape data, the fields are separated by spaces, therefore, it is
best to save those files as .txt, then use the MS Excel Import Wizard to select “Space Delimiters” for
importation of the data.
Site data is downloaded in plain text and can be imported directly into MS Word.
