Description of the Exported I-V Data File
This section describes the organization of the .csv (comma separated value) file that is created in your
hard drive when you export measurements from the PVA software.
PV Analyzer users typically analyze their measurement results using the Solmetric I-V Data Analysis
Tool (DAT), which automates the analysis and reporting process. You can download a free copy of the
DAT by visiting www.solmetric.com/pva-analysis-macro.html. To use the DAT, you will first export
your Project data from the PV Analyzer, and then import it into the DAT.
When you export Project data, the PVA software creates a Windows folder tree on your hard drive that
has the same hierarchy as your Network Navigator system tree. Your I-V trace data is exported to this
