Exporting Tables to CSV Format or Graphs to a Bitmap

You can export tables to CSV format (Excel) or charts to BMP format (bit mapped graphic). When saving a chart to a bitmap, it is recommended that the display settings for your monitor be greater than 256 colors to create an image with accurate colors.

1.Select the view you want to export. Press one of view buttons on the Data Views or the Capture View toolbar. If you already have the desired view window open, click the window to make it the currently selected view.

2.Click the Table tab to export to CSV format or click the Chart tab to export to a bitmap.

3.Choose Export… from the File menu.

4.Enter the file name in the Save As... dialog box. Table views will automatically be saved in CSV format and the file is given an extension of .csv. Chart views will automatically be saved in BMP format and the file is given an extension of .bmp.

5.Click the Save button.
