CS(V)
For means of diagnosis generating output of several values in
CSV Format
(Comma
Separated Values; a text file especially formatted to be read by spreadsheet analysis
programs) is possible. This output is continuous at 38.400 baud, 8 bit and even parity,
until it is interrupted by hitting any key. This keystroke generates a reset of the antenna
to the basic settings (not monitor mode) including the stored parameters.
Storing the CSV output is, e.g., possible using the program HyperTerminal® (also refer
to section 5.1 on page 28). Use the function
Text aufzeichnen ...
of menu
Über-
tragung
and insert an appropriate file name (should bear the file ending
.csv
in or-
der to ensure that the spreadsheet calculation program will automatically recognize
this file). Once the file is recorded, stored and closed under HyperTerminal®, it may
be uploaded into a spreadsheet calculation program (e. g. Microsoft® Excel®, Sun®
StarCalc®, ...).
When opening the file various options will be prompted by the spreadsheet calculation
program. Make sure to state that the file consists of Comma Separated Values. Then it
is possible to process the data for the generation of diagrams or save it as native
spreadsheet calculation file.
