02

Automatic CSV logging

Measurements are automatically recorded in the selected folder and can be opened directly in Excel.

03

CSV access guide

When another application accesses the CSV file

An access conflict may occur when another application attempts to open the same file exclusively while Autosave is writing data.

Example of a simultaneous CSV access error
Example error when the active CSV file is opened exclusively while Autosave is writing

Reading from another application

Open the file in read mode while also allowing shared access. The following example uses CStdioFile in C++.

CStdioFile file(
  fileName,
  CFile::modeRead |
  CFile::shareDenyNone |
  CFile::typeText
);

Opening the file in Explorer or Excel

Copy the active file to another location and open the copy for review.

Screens and settings may vary by operating system, security configuration, RTU model and application version. Test the connection before production deployment.
