Details

The filename must specify the full path (including /usb1/). If included, the file extension must be set

to .csv (if no file extension is specified, .csv is added).

For options that save more than one item of time information, each item is comma-delimited. For

example, the default format is date, time, and fractional seconds for each reading.

The Model 2461 does not check for existing files when you save. Verify that you are using a unique

name to avoid overwriting any existing .csv files on the flash drive.
