Pulse Building uses the following rules when exporting a CSV file.
The CSV file export directory and the CSV file name are user-specified.
The CSV file export generates unique file names for all properties containing variable length data. The supporting file names used during an import are not preserved. This means that new supporting files are created after doing an import followed by an export.
The CSV file export for the support files are named using the following format including a timestamp:
Datatype_PatternItemIndex_mmddmmss.csv
Example: AntennaScanCustomData_3_02035841.csv
or
ItemName_CustomDataType_mmddmmss.csv
Example: New Pulse 1_PolyPhaseCustomData_08141020.csv
The CSV file export populates all necessary fields except those containing variable length data that are empty.
The CSV file export may overwrite existing support files without prompting you.
The CSV file export from the GUI does not overwrite the main file without asking you first.
The CSV file export always uses the latest version file format.
The CSV file export writes all files to the same directory.
The CSV file exports a single pattern. References to patterns have the names saved as line items but the referenced patterns are not exported.
