Step 3
In the Export dialog box, click a data format:
• As HTML—Saves data as a simple HTML table file without graphics. The file must be viewed or 
edited with applications such as Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or other 
applications capable of opening HTML files.
• As CSV—Saves the CTC table as comma-separated values (CSV). This option does not apply to the 
Maintenance > Timing > Report window.
• As TSV—Saves the CTC table as tab-separated values (TSV).
Step 4 If you want to open a file in a text editor or word processor application, procedures will vary. Typically, 
you can use the File > Open command to view the CTC data, or you can double-click the file name and 
choose an application such as Notepad. 
Text editor and word processor applications format the data exactly as it is exported, including comma 
or tab separators. All applications that open the data files allow you to format the data.
Step 5 If you want to open the file in spreadsheet and database management applications, procedures will vary. 
Typically, you need to open the application and choose File > Import, then choose a delimited file to 
format the data in cells.
Purpose This task exports CTC table data as delineated text to view or edit the data 
in text editor, word processing, spreadsheet, database management, or web 
browser applications.
