Details
If the file you specify does not exist on the USB flash drive, this command creates the file.
For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For
example, the default format is date, time, and fractional seconds for each reading.
The file extension
.csv
is appended to the filename if necessary. Any file extension other than
.csv
generates an error.
The index column entry in the
.csv
file starts at 1 for each append operation.
Examples of valid destination file names:
buffer.saveappend(bufferVar, "/usb1/myData")
buffer.saveappend(bufferVar, "/usb1/myData.csv")
Invalid destination filename examples:
buffer.saveappend(bufferVar, "/usb1/myData.")
— The period is not followed by
csv
.
buffer.saveappend(bufferVar, "/usb1/myData.txt")
— The only allowed extension is
.csv
. If
.csv
is not assigned, it is automatically added.
Example 1
buffer.saveappend(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myData.csv")
Append reading and default time information from a buffer named
MyBuffer
to a file named
myData.csv
on
the USB flash drive.
Example 2
buffer.saveappend(MyBuffer, "/usb1/myDataRel.csv", buffer.SAVE_RELATIVE_TIME)
Append readings and relative timestamps from
MyBuffer
to a file named
myDataRel.csv
on the USB flash
drive.
Example 3
buffer.saveappend(defbuffer1, "/usb1/defbuf1data", buffer.SAVE_RAW_TIME, 1, 10)
Append the readings and raw time stamps for points
1
to
10
from
defbuffer1
to a file named
defbuf1data
on the USB flash drive.
