Configure your TU5200 to log data to CSV:
- At the main reading screen, push Options>Reading Setup>Data Log Setup>Send Data Format
- Set to CSV
- Make sure that Auto Store is on (On is the default).
- Setup the TU5200 to log data to NetDrive (Folder where the Data Log CSV files will be placed). The instructions for setting the instrument up to a LAN connection are on page 16 of the TU5200 User Manual.
Configure the interface:
- Go to Configuration>Source Configuration
- Set the Import Folder to the location of your TU5200 CSV files. The Data Log files are typically named : DL_TU5200_sssssss_yyyy-mmm-dd_hh_mm_ss.csv where ssssss is the Instrument serial number (Ex DL_TU5200_1664014_2016-Oct-28_13_18_21.csv)
- Set the number of header rows to 5.
