Save the Pulse Pattern to File

You can save the file by selecting the following menu while the device is stopped.
Menu: "File(F)"-"Save(S)" or "Save As(A)..."

If the data is newly saved, the file save dialog is displayed.

Select the file format from CSV format (file name.csv) or CPB format (file name.cpb).

Settings	Description
*.csv	Save in CSV format. You can refer to it with Excel or a text editor.
*.cpb	Save in C-LogicDesigner original binary format. Although it is a format dedicated to C-LogicDesigner, it is advantageous in terms of file size.

■ CSV file structure

When saving the file in CSV format, first save the information about the settings and conditions for data transfer, and then save the created data.
In the figure below, the file saved in CSV format is displayed in Notepad. The contents for each item are explained below.

No.	Item	Description
1	CONTEC LOGIC DESIGNER	Indicates that the file is a C-LogicDesigner file.

28	AutoSaveFileType	Saves the type of file to be auto-saved. 0: .csv 1: .cpb * This is valid when the auto save mode is enabled.
29	AutoSaveFileName	Saves the prefix of the file to be auto-saved. * This is valid when the auto save mode is enabled.
30	ChannelName	Saves the signal name displayed in the signal name window.
31	DeviceChannel	Saves the logical channel corresponding to the signal name.
32	IsEnable	Saves signal enable/disable settings. Used internally by C-LogicDesigner. * Do not change this value please. If the value is different when reading the file than when saving it, it may result in unintended behavior.
33	IsBus	Saves whether it is a bus signal. * Do not change this value please. If the value is different when reading the file than when saving it, it may result in unintended behavior.
