NOTE
The Historical Statistics status is retained between sessions, but time period selections and data display selections are not.
Exporting pod line graph data
Some pods allow you to export whatever data has been collected for the graph. Clicking Export… in the pod opens a standard windows file dialog that allows you to save the data as a CSV file.
Notes:
•The export will include data from ALL data sets (lines) in the pod, even if the display of some (or all) of the data set lines in that pod have been turned off.
•The first line of the exported file is text with symbolic names for all the data fields.
•Each text line in the exported file ends with the fields TIME and DATE, which provide timestamp information in the formats of integer and string.
