25.11.5 Display/Save in CSV (Custom Settings)

Display/Save in CSV

Specifies whether to display sampled data on the display unit screen or to save to an external storage.

When you display using the Sampling Data Display, or save the data to the external storage, you must check and set the format.

Basic Settings/Custom Settings

Select the format setting mode.

Basic Settings

Use a preset format to easily configure settings.

Custom Settings

Set a customized format.

Copy From Print Format

When the print format is set on the [Print] tab, copy the settings from the [Print] tab. Use this feature when you want to display/save in CSV using the print format.

The border row and border column are not copied.

CSV Control Word Address

Specifies whether to save as a CSV file. If so, set the control address to write the data to an external storage.

Two sequential word addresses are automatically used as the area to write the command and its result (status), and File (the *****portion in "SA*****.csv".) The file number can be from 0 to 65535.

25.14.5 Saving to CSV

Save in

Select the save destination for the sampled data.

CF Card (or SD Card)

Write data to a CF card (or a SD card).

USB storage

Write data to a USB storage device.

Destination Folder

The following dialog box appears.

The following section lists models that support partitioning the destination folder.
1.5 Supported Features

Set number of files in destination folder on external storage

Select whether or not to partition the destination folder for the alarm history data and sampled data.

You can use the [Number of files per folder] field to control the number of files in one folder.

For example, [Number of files per folder] = [100], save sampling group 1 to CSV

Folder	File that is saved
\SAMP01\00000	SA00000.CSV to SA00099.CSV
\SAMP01\00001	SA00100.CSV to SA00199.CSV
:	:
\SAMP01\00655	SA65500.CSV to SA65535.CSV

Refer to the following for information on destination folder and file names.
5.7.1 Destination Folder and File Name
The setting applies to both alarm history and sampling data. You cannot set up the file/folder partitioning for only one of these features or set up different file numbers.

Number of files per folder

You can select the number of files in a folder, from [50], [100 (recommended)], [150], [200], [250], [300], [350], [400], [450], or [500].

When you select [100 (recommended)], the speed of the save process is faster compared to folder content that is divided.

The file number defines the destination folder. The number is not used to count the number of files in the folder, as the file number can be larger than the number of files in a folder.

Append Date/Time to file name

Specifies whether to append to the file name the time stamp (year, month, date, and time when the save to CSV operation starts).

When check box is cleared

The file name will consist of "SA" to indicate sampling data and the file number (5 digits). The file number value is stored in the address following the [CSV Control Word Address].
For example, when file number is 1, file name is "SA00001.csv"

When check box is selected

The file name will consist of "SA" to indicate sampling data, the file number (5 digits), and time stamp. The time stamp format is defined in the [Date/Time Format] field.
For example, When file number is 1, the save date and time is 2017/3/16 12:05:30, the Date/Time Format is _%Y%M%D_%h, the file name is "SA00001_20170316_12.csv".

For models that support appending the date and time to CSV file names, refer to the following.
1.5 Supported Features

Date/Time Format

When the [Append Date/Time to file name] check box is selected, set up the time stamp format with 16 single-byte characters or less. You can use single-byte alphanumeric characters, the following single-byte symbols, and the following macro symbols.

Single-byte symbols

% _ - ( )

Macro

Macro	Description
%Y	Year (4 digit format)
%y	Year (2 digit format)
%M	Month
%D	Day
%h	Hours
% + character above	Adds any character string. "%" symbols at the beginning are not included in the file name. Example 1, when _%Y%M%D_%A is defined: SA00001_20170316_A Example 2, when _%Y%M%D_%% is defined: SA00001_20170316_%

Preview

Based on the defined [Date/Time Format], displays an image illustrating the file name with the current date and time. When the format is invalid, the preview is not updated.

CSV Date Format

Select the [CSV Date Format] from [yy/mm/dd], [dd/mm/yy], [mm/dd/yy], [20yy/mm/dd], [dd/mm/20yy], [mm/dd/20yy], or [mm/dd]. "yy" displays the last two digits of the year, and "mm" and "dd" use two digits to display the month and date.

To read log data from the CF card using Pro-Server EX (GP log data upload and reading of Excel report log data), choose [yy/mm/dd]. If you select an option other than [yy/mm/dd], the date may be read out incorrectly.
When using Pro-Server EX (before V1.32) for the MES application's CF Sampling Data File Collection Action, choose [yy/mm/dd]. If you choose an option other than [yy/mm/dd], it may become an error or saved in the database with an incorrect date.

When you select this check box, the [FTP] tab is displayed. Set up the destination FTP server and start transfer trigger in the [FTP] tab.
