CSV
One file contains waveform samples as float values in the range -1..+1 for one, two,
three, or four M8195A channels and markers. Values are delimited by commas.
The CSV format may contain optional header information as follows:
Parameter Header
The parameter header contains optional header parameters as name and value pairs
separated by ‘=’. Each parameter should be specified in a single line. This header is
optional. There are following header parameters:
 SampleRate: The sample rate.
 SetConfig: Flag to indicate if the header parameters need to be set. This
can be set to either ‘true’ or ‘false’. If this flag is ‘false’ header parameters
will not be set. If this flag is omitted header parameters are set.
If the file consists of one column, the data can be imported to channel 1, 2, 3 or 4.
When the file contains data for more than one channel, data columns must be
mapped to channels. When the file contains no data header, the mapping shown in
Table 47 is used. The target channel is always given by the channel suffix of the
import command.

Data Header
The data header contains the names of the data columns separated by ','. The
waveform data is specified after the data header. This header is optional. When the
file contains a data header, the mapping shown in Table 48 is used. Similarly, to the
case without data header the target channel is always given by the channel suffix of
the import command. If a data column name is not present and a name in brackets is
present in the table, this column is used instead.
