Changing the file format
Sessions imported from the stick reader by EziLink can be saved in one of the following formats:
.xls
This file format allows you to open and manipulate data using MS Excel.
.csv
Comma separated values file format. .csv files are commonly used to transfer data to a
third party application. On machines that have Excel installed, .csv files automatically
open in Excel; however it is better to use the .xls format for this to avoid issues with data
formats, which can happen especially with EID numbers that have no space. To see the
contents of a .csv file, you can open it in Notepad using the 'Open With' function of
Windows.
NLIS (.csv) This is a .csv file suitable for uploading to the NLIS database (applicable in Australia
only).
NAIT
This is a .csv file suitable for uplading to the NAIT database (applicable in New Zealand
only)
Changing the file format setting here means that all sessions will be saved in this format unless you
override it during the importing process.
