Much of the data collected with 1080 machines can be exported using either Microsoft Excel format or CSV ("Comma Separated Values").
- Excel is the recommended format because it completely avoids many of the issues with CSV that has to do with culture/language settings. It is also a much more efficient in terms of file size.
- This is the default format
- CSV is a text based format without any real standardization behind it, but it is in many cases the only option because that's what most tools out there can read.
- Some aspects of the CSV format can be configured in the instructor settings in the web app. For example which separator to use (comma, semicolon, tab,...) and which culture settings to use when formatting things like numbers and dates.
Both formats are always available and contain the same information. To select a format, just click on the small down arrow next to the export button
To read more about the columns that are exported, see Export Format.
