1. File output filter

The file output filter can be used to output data series to files. Three different formats are supported:

  • CSV (comma separated)

  • column

  • HDF5

  • EXCEL

CSV and column formatted files are suitable for exporting to Microsoft Excel, MATLAB and others. MATLAB, Python and several other programming languages and software packages have support for HDF5. See HDF5 file format for an explanation of usage and an example. EXCEL exports to an xlsx file which is an open XML format that may be opened in a Microsoft Excel Workbook or other open source office products like Libre Office, Open Office and others..
