# Comma Separated Values

Data is broken up into fields of comma separated values. Commas delimit successive values, alphabetic characters are surrounded by double quotes and numeric values are not quoted. This is identical to Comma Delimited Text, except that the numerical values are not quoted. This file format is also suitable for importing into database and spreadsheet programs.

When this type of reporting format is chosen, the report cover page is excluded.

Note: "Current reading" for discrete channels is always reported as a raw value 1 or 0.
