24.11.4 Saving to CSV

There are two save operations for CF Cards/USB storage devices.

When the command is written to the [CSV Control Word Address], data stored in the display unit is output as a CSV file.
24.11.4.1 Process for Normal Save

When the defined number of samples are stored in the display unit and the sampling cycle is complete, data stored in the display unit is output as a CSV file. This option is available when in the [Mode] tab, [Extended] dialog box, you select the [Overwrite old data after finishing the specified cycles] check box.
24.11.4.2 Process for Auto Save

CSV Control Word Address

This address controls the writing of data to a CF Card/USB storage device. It writes a command to the address after designating a file number.

When the command to the bottom 8 bits of the control addresses is written after specifying the file number, data is written to a CF Card/USB Storage device. The process results (status) are shown in the top 8 bits of the address.
