The measurement data is stored in comma-separated value format (CSV) so it can be read by
spreadsheets and data-analysis programs. Name your file with a .CSV extension. If you are planning on
collecting large amounts of data, it is a good idea to understand any limitations your spreadsheet or data
analysis program may have on the number of rows it can work with.

7.3 Data Collection Settings
Data Collection – Data collection can be turned ON or OFF if desired.
High Speed Data Collection – When high speed data collection is turned on the visual output is
disabled. Use this function when only interested in collecting F/T data reading and not monitoring the
transducer.

packet loss occurs frequently.
