CSV data export

Recorded data can be exported to a CSV export file from the chart display view.

All data which has been selected for chart display will be exported to a CSV text file by pressing the SHARE button (or selecting menu item "SHARE", if button is not shown on your device)

This generates a CSV text file, which then can be shared via Bluetooth, Mail, File sharing client etc.

The file is located in following directory:

<AndrOBD data directory>/csv/

The file is named by the date/time of the export in following format:

<Year>.<Month>.<Day>-<Hour>.<Minute>.<Second>.csv (i.e. 2017.01.02-22.12.32.csv)

CSV format configuration

Following parameters of the export CSV file can be adjusted within the program CSV export settings:

  • CSV field delimiter (COMMA, SEMICOLON, TAB)
  • CSV record delimiter (CR, LF, CRLF)
  • Text fields to be enclosed in Quote characters (to allow multi-line text messages)

Prompt CSV sharing

It is also configurable within the CSV export settings if you immediately will be prompted to share the export file just after after it has been exported.
