ASCII - File

The values of the variables are saved in an ASCII file.
The values are written into the ASCII file separated by semicolons.
The file created can then be imported into other spreadsheet programs such as "Microsoft Excel", where it can be further processed.

The ASCII file has the following structure:

[Timestamp];[NAME];[VALUE]
[YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss];[Variablename];[Variablevalue]
[YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss];[Variablename];[Variablevalue]
[YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss];[Variablename];[Variablevalue]
[YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss];[Variablename];[Variablevalue]

The "Timestamp" column stores the time at which the data record was saved.
The name of the variable is stored in the "Name" column.
The "Value" column stores the value of the variable.

Notice

Compact Flash Card Lifetime

Do not save the database on the Compact Flash Card in case of an embedded system.
Either use the database in RAM, i.e., do not save to the "Hard disk" folder, or save on a network folder. To many write cycles to the Compact Flash Card can shorten its service life.
