9 Data Files and Format
The TDLS220 TDL analyzer is capable of automatically storing many important pieces of information.
All the files are stored in simple ASCII text format for easy importing to MS Excel spreadsheets (or other
data manipulation software as appropriate).
The rate at which data is captured may be configured from within the TDLS220 software.
There are several files that are stored in the system:
Example of files contained within the serial number specific data export folder (or the !Data folder when
viewing through a File Transfer function on Ultra-VNC connection)
092407 .res
Daily Results
Allows for review of daily results and
diagnostic data on a measurement-by-
measurement basis
Daily Results - in the form of ASCII data files that can be opened
with Microsoft “Notepad” as simple .txt file formats. The content
can then be copied and pasted into Microsoft Excel spread. Each
day as a separate file name in the MMDDYY format with the .res
file extension (meaning result). Each file starts with the first up-
dated measurement set of data for that date and then sequential-
ly contains every up-dated measurement set of data in the same
dated file until the end of that date. A new dated file is created
each day. Files are deleted automatically on a First-In/First-Out
(FIFO) basis if the allowable Data folder has no spare memory.
092407 .spe
Daily Spectra
Allows for review of daily results and
diagnostic data on a measurement-by-
measurement basis
Daily Spectra - in the form of ASCII data files that can be opened
with Microsoft “Notepad” as simple .txt file formats. The content
can then be copied and pasted into Microsoft Excel spread. Each
day as a separate file name in the MMDDYY format with the
.spe file extension (meaning spectra). Each file contains spectra
captured automatically during that day depending on what rate
of spectra capture has been set-up. Typically, the analyzer will
capture one spectrum every 300 measurement up-dates (if the
capture rate is set 300 up-dates). Additionally, if the analyzer
goes into “Warning” of “Fault” mode during that day, there will
be spectra captured during these times (typically configured for
5 captures in each mode). A new dated file is created each day.
Files are deleted automatically on a First-In/First-Out (FIFO) basis
if the allowable Data folder has no spare memory.
