average, envelope. If peak detect or envelope is set, two values (minimum and
maximum) are written for each sample.
Only for analog channels.
Horizontal Unit s, second

Horizontal Position Distance of the trigger point from the reference point.
Reference Point Position in the diagram: left = 10%, middle = 50%, and right = 90%
Sample Interval Time between two samples
Record Length Number of samples, corresponds to the number of data lines in the file
Probe Setting Attenuation factor of the connected probe, only for analog channels.
Vertical Unit V or A

Vertical Offset In V or A, only for analog channels
Threshold Only for digital channels
11.4.3.3 Converting CSV to Excel Files
If you open an exported CSV file in Excel or another spreadsheet, all data is written in
one column. The value delimiter is usually a comma, but you can select another delim-
iter in the export settings. As an example, the following procedure describes text con-
version to columns in Excel. Other spreadsheet applications provide similar features.
Make sure to select the correct text delimiter, decimal separator and thousands sepa-
rator.
1. Open the CSV file in Excel.
2. Click the column header "A" to select all data.
3. On the "Data" ribbon, click "Text to Columns".
4. Select the data type "Delimited".
