Details
The filename must specify the full path (including
/usb1/
). If included, the file extension must be set
to
.csv
(if no file extension is specified,
.csv
is added).
For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For
example, the default format is
date
,
time
, and
fractional seconds
for each reading.
The Model DMM7510 does not check for existing files when you save. Verify that you are using a
unique name to avoid overwriting any existing
.csv
files on the flash drive.
