Comma Separated Value / Delimited (.csv) Files

FCS Express 5 supports loading data stored as Comma Delimited files in the format of (*.csv).

 

Data files stored in the .csv format must contain a header row for each parameter that contains a parameter descriptor as well as a comma-separated list of values for each parameter created as seen in Figure 24.7.
