Data Format
The data is saved as a CSV file (comma separated variable). This is a plain, human
readable text file, each record of Lux, UV, temperature and RH is on one line, each
value separated by a comma.
The .CSV files can be opened directly in any spreadsheet, eg Microsoft Excel.
NOTE: If your PC is setup for European number format (ie decimal point shown as
“,” and thousands separator as “.”) then Excel will open the file with all the data in
one column. The easiest way to avoid this is to rename the file from “abc.csv” to
“abc.txt”, if the file is now opened Excel will ask for the record separator character,
this should be entered as “,”.
The first line has column titles separated by commas and a fifth value giving
information about the log start time, period etc. This data will look similar to:
2014-10-12_1308_000010_0010901*AName****0000544771
YYYY-MM-DD_HHmm_hhmmss_rrrrrrr*NNNNNNNN*ssssssssss
YYYY-MM-DD = Log start date
HHmm = Log start time, hours and minutes (seconds always zero)
hhmmss = Log interval (hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds)
rrrrrrr = no of records in file
NNNNNNNN = Logger name, with extra * to make 8 characters
ssssssssss = Misc logger status values
