5.5.5 Export measurement series
A schematic diagram of the rack can be shown to the left in
the screen. Like in the other menus, the grey symbol (Figure
12, measurement position 6) also means that no head was
recognised there by the device. In Figure 12 the heads at
measurement positions 1 to 4 are selected. A head is present
in measurement position 5, but is not selected.
Only the selected heads are considered for an export; they
can be selected and de-selected with the head keys.
The window in the right section shows the destination drive.
It is possible to save the data to an SD card or a USB stick.
Connect the appropriate medium to the device and wait
until the corresponding symbol appears in the footer of the
display. Select the appropriate medium with the up
▲
and
down
▼
arrow keys. Now the contents of the data carrying
medium can be displayed with the right
►
arrow key.
Basically, folder and file names are only displayed in lo-
wer-case letters, because entry is only possible in lower-case
letters. Folder and file names with special characters are not
displayed. In this case, the warning symbol
is shown in
the top right of the window.
The available folders and files can be selected with the up
▲
and down
▼
arrow keys. If a file has been selected, its con-
tents can be shown with the right
►
arrow key. Use the left
►
arrow key to reach the superordinate
folder. The path is always displayed together with an automatically generated file at the bottom in
the status bar.
With a selected file, on the other hand, you activate the status bar with the right
►
arrow key. The
automatically generated file name is then replaced with the selected file.
Now you can change the file name.
Individual characters can be deleted with the Backspace key. The cursor can be moved with the right
►
and left
►
arrow keys. New characters can be entered by pressing the corresponding numerical
key repeatedly. You can exit the status bar with the up
▲
and down
▼
arrow keys. The first and/or
last entry in the list is then selected with the folder name and/or file name.
If you are at the beginning or end of the list, you can also activate the status bar with the up
▲
and
down
▼
arrow keys.
Start the data export with function key F2 (save). The export can take some time, depending on the
data quantity. The end of the export is indicated by an info box. Press function key F1 (back) to return
to the main menu, as accustomed.
The export file is generated in CSV format. A semicolon is used as a separator. The character set is
UTF-8 coded. These parameters must be adjusted in the program with which the export file is ope-
ned, e.g. Microsoft

Excel
