L-Series and FCS-18 Graphical User Interface User Manual

8.5 Using a spreadsheet program

The data file format for data logging files was chosen to be easily used by

other programs. As such, it can be loaded directly by programs such as
excel. The comma separated fields will automatically be entered in individual
columns with each row representing one measurement cycle. Once imported
into Excel, analysis and graphical trend data displays are easily generated.
Refer to your Excel documentation for details.

The example below illustrates the data sample shown in section 8.4.5 as

it appears when loaded in an Excel spreadsheet. (Column A set to
Date_Time format).

Other spreadsheets programs such as Lotus 123 and Quattro can be

used in a similar fashion.
