31-2 Importing and Exporting Data
To export files to a USB storage device, first ensure the device is connected via the DS2831’s top panel. The

select files to export, and then press the

Upon transfer to USB, new directories will be automatically
created on the storage device. (If these folders already exist,
files will be copied to them as normal.) Measurement data
files will be placed in “DS2831_file” and screenshot / image
files in “DS2831_bmp”. Data files will export in CSV format,
which can be opened with Microsoft Excel or another
spreadsheet software. The Toolbox PC software can also
review and analyze DS2831 exported files.
