The DG2020A can import vector data from the built-in floppy drive using a
simple ASCII Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format. This section defines
how the data is formatted for importing into the DG2020A. The CSV format is
defined as follows:
ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ
Á ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ Á
ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

When formatting data in the CSV format, note the following:
Each data byte is defined by the ASCII character: zero <0>, ASCII 48 or one
<1>, ASCII 49
Each data byte is separated by the ASCII character: comma <,> (ASCII 44),
space (ASCII 32), or TAB (ASCII 9)
Each line is terminated with the ASCII character: carriage return <CR>,
ASCII 13
The number of bits in a line defines the word width. For example, if the first
line consists of pattern: 1,0,1,1 then the word width is 4 bits wide
The number of lines in the file defines the number of words in the pattern.
For example, 10 lines defines 10 data words.
The DG2020A CSV format file is a DOS compatible file formatted as
defined above with a .CSV file extension.
CSV Format Example.
To export a 12 bit pattern that is 3 words long, create the
following data and save it using filename: PATTERN.CSV. This can be created
using a spreadsheet program, a text editor, or a custom filter program to convert
data from one format to another.
1,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1<CR>
1,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1<CR>
0,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1<CR>
. Bit pattern data must have at least 64 words. Above pattern data can not
be read into the DG2020A. Note that this is a simple example.
