Exporting Data
You can export logged data from the Trip, Activity, Accident, and Trouble Log views using the menu that
displays when you right-click on a log report. There are several options and formats available for
exporting data. The available options are:
• Information displayed in any of the Log Views can be exported by either saving to a file or copying
to the clipboard. Copying to a clipboard allows you to paste the information directly into other
applications.
• Trip, Activity, Accident, and Trouble summary, report, and table views can be exported as either a
text file or a data file.
• Plot views can be exported as a metafile (vector graphic format), bit-mapped graphics file, or as
data.
Data files are tab delimited text files that can be imported into a spreadsheet.
