The CSV file format is considered a Text format by most spreadsheet and database software. When you
open the .csv file created by ProView, be sure to specify that you are opening a Text file. For instance, in
Excel, in the File….Open dialog box, choose Text Files from the list in the File of type list box.
A word about the date format in the exported files: Discrete and event data are exported using a
time stamp in which the date and the time are in separate columns or separated by a comma (for
example, 9/15/2000,09:39:08). Analog data are exported using a combined date/time in standard
Windows format (which is the decimal equivalent of the number of days and fractions of a day since
January 1, 1900). When an analog data file is opened in a spreadsheet or database software package, you
will probably want to reformat the date/time information in the leftmost column. For instance, in Excel,
select the column, choose Format….Cells, and select a Number format that includes both the date and the
time.
