8.8.2  Data File Formats 
Data file format options are available with the TableFile() instruction.  Time-
series data have an option to include header, time stamp and record number.    See 
the table TableFile() Instruction Data File Formats
 (p. 411). For a format to be 
compatible with datalogger support software
 (p. 86) graphing and reporting tools, 
header, time stamps, and record numbers are usually required.    Fully compatible 
formats are indicated with an asterisk.    A more detailed discussion of data-file 
formats is available in the Campbell Scientific publication LoggerNet Instruction 
Manual, which is available at www.campbellsci.com.
