6.2.2 Importing Saved Data
Data which has been recovered and saved as an ASCII text le with a CSV extension, as
described above, can be opened in most spreadsheet applications (Microsoft Excel, Google
Sheets, etc.). If the application does not recognize the CSV le extension, then refer to the
spreadsheet’s documentation for information on how to manually import comma-delimited
text les.
6.2.1 Downloading Stored Data to a Computer
The combustion test data which was stored in either the analyzer’s Memory Directory
can be downloaded to a computer using the PRS and USB cable that are supplied with
the analyzer.
The downloaded data is stored on the computer’s hard drive – or removable media of the
operator’s choosing – as a comma-separated-value ASCII text le with a CSV extension. This
type of le can be opened by most spreadsheet applications for analysis.
For more information about the installation of the PRS, refer to the operation manual
(P/N: 0024-9552) which can be downloaded from Bacharach’s website, www.mybacharach.com.
