10-2 Viewing the FOXDATA File
The FOXDATA file is in what is called CSV format or comma separated
values. In a CSV file, the first row defines the variable (field) names each
separated by a comma and subsequent rows contain relative data for
those defined fields. At first glance, the file may seem confusing and not
very useful. FOXPRO has developed an online FOXDATA extension that
allows you to create an account on our website, upload your
‘foxdata.csv’ file and have that file turned into easy-to-read charts,
graphs, and tables.
Let’s say you have 3 months of hunts recorded in your Fusion remote
through FOXDATA. You can login to your account, upload the file, and
then the system will take care of the rest. You can then erase the
current FOXDATA file from the Fusion remote to start recording again. 3
months later you can upload another copy of the file to track the next
batch.
The CSV file can be opened for viewing through a program such as
Microsoft Excel. The field titles will be displayed, and the relative data
will be displayed in rows beneath that. While Excel can provide you
with a quick glance at the information, turning it into something useful
is where the FOXDATA online extension comes into play.

11. Programming the Fusion
The FOXPRO Fusion digital game call can be completely programmed
from home with the use of a computer. It is possible to reprogram a
Fusion from a Windows based PC as well as a Mac. Both subjects will be
covered in this section.
