Section 8: Data Export
Concepts:
■
Measurement data in the M2 software can be exported to a data file on your computer from the Report View
screen. Data can be exported in standard ACSII “.txt” format, or in .csv format for import to a spreadsheet or
SPC application.
■ The exported data file will be formatted according to the selected report template at the time the export is
executed. The exported file will also reflect any other modifications made to the report view, including the
hiding or modification of data cell contents.
■
The destination of exported data files can be configured from within the “File Locations” setup screen. Data
can be exported to a folder location, a fixed drive location, or a network location.
■
Data file exports can have custom file names applied, and can be configured to append an existing file,
overwrite an existing file, or be added as a new file with an “auto-number” applied.
■
Data Export steps that are part of a saved part program can be edited to change the report format type of the
exported data file.
