View Datalog Files in Spreadsheets

The datalog files can be loaded from the MMC/SD into most spreadsheet applications using a card reader. Compatible software applications are

  • Microsoft® Excel 98 or later,
  • Quattro Pro,
  • Lotus 1-2-3,
  • Microsoft® Access, and
  • Microsoft® Word.

To view a datalog file in a software spreadsheet, complete the following:

1. Deactivate the detector and remove the MMC/SD (refer to Figure 6).
2. Insert the MMC/SD into the card reader.
3. From the computer desktop, double-click My Computer to view the list of drives.
4. Double-click Removable Disk drive.
5. Double-click LOGFILE0.

Refer to the following three tables for a spreadsheet example and definitions.

Example of a Datalog Spreadsheet

When datalog information is imported into most spreadsheet software, it appears similar to the example below.
Note: Not all columns are included in this example. Additional Toxic TWA and Toxic STEL display on a normal spreadsheet.

Warning: Some compatible software packages have an internal file size limit of and may not load the entire file. Check the software limit.
