Pulse Building

CSV File for Patterns - Export Rules

The Pulse Building application uses the following rules when exporting pulse patterns to a CSV file.

• You need to specify the CSV file export directory and the CSV file name.

• 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.
