22.9 Tab File Format
This file format is composed of a header line and consecutive lines containing records selected for saving. Each
parameter is selected by the <TAB> (08h) character, allowing easy interfacing or importing into most data
processing applications, like Microsoft® Excel. Scatter diagrams and historgrams, flags are NOT saved in this
format.
The header line contains the same column names you can see in the analyzer database.
Data values are saved as they are stored in the analyzer database, alphanumerical or numerical. Decimal
separator is defined by the actual operating language of the software.
