20.4.5 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.
