# Comma Delimited Text

Data is broken up into fields. Commas delimit successive fields and all text is surrounded by double quotes. This file format is suitable for importing into database and spreadsheet programs.

Comma Delimited Text Format

" Time/Data Stamp"," Message 1 + Current Reading + Message 2 "," Current Reading "," Channel State "," PIN Name"

Example:

" Fri Aug 06, 1999 10:40:14"," Breaker #0965 reading is 220 Amps "," 220 "," HIGH SETPOINT ALARM, ACKNOWLEDGED "," by Jim Brown"

In this example for an identical channel but with comma delimited format, the direct reading is included again by itself without messages, and commas are used to delimit the fields.
