Details
The filename must specify the full path (including /usb1/). If included, the file extension must be set
to .csv. If no file extension is specified, .csv is added.
For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For
example, the default format is date, time, and fractional seconds for each reading.
The 2470 does not check for existing files when you save. Verify that you are using a unique name to
avoid overwriting any existing CSV files on the flash drive.
