Data stored in an instrument is usually transmitted to the PC using either
RS232 or USB for direct connection, or over a modem or network link. Client
Software can develop software to interface with the instrumentation, configure
the instrument if required, and download the stored data. Remote instrument
control is also an option if the instrumentation supports it.
CSL can also develop the system for storing the information in
the actual instrument. See our Embedded
Systems section for information.
Data Storage.
Once downloaded, the data can be stored in any of the the following ways:
- Proprietary format (maybe as required by other software)
- Text file (usually CSV, suitable for import into spreadsheets and
databases)
- Database (Access, Paradox, etc)
The actual method of storage usually depends on how the data is to be
used afterwards.
