3 Software Overview
3-25
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 folder structure in the form of comma separated value (.csv)
files. If you measured strings of PV modules but did not save measurements of the
individual modules in the strings, the lower-level directories in your folder structure will
contain the string I-V trace .csv files.
When you use the Data Analysis Tool, you can import some or all of this data into the
DAT for automated analysis and reporting by simply browsing to the desired level of the
folder hierarchy.
It is also possible to view the individual I-V trace data files using a program that can read
.csv files, such as Microsoft Excel (tm). This section describes the organization and
contents of the .csv file.
Figure 50 shows the header information section of the csv file, and the following table
describes its contents.

The location in the system tree at which the measurement
was saved. Normally this maps directly into the hierarchy of
the actual array.
