CSV file formats
Field separators
When processing CSV files the field separator may be a comma or semi-colon or tab character.
This program's CSV file format
Fields that are not relevant to a radio are either null or not present. If null then their absence must be indicated by a comma.
Sample header record format:
#, Freq, Mode, Shift, Offset, TX Freq, Enc/Dec, Tone, Code, Show, Name, Power, Scan, Clk, Step, Scan2, Scan3, Scan4, Scan5, Scan6, Description, Bank1, Bank2, Bank3, Bank4, Bank5, Bank6, Bank7, Bank8, Bank9, Bank10, Bank11, Bank12, Bank13, Bank14, Bank15, Bank16, Bank17, Bank18, Bank19, Bank20, Bank21, Bank22, Bank23, Bank24, PRFRQ, SMSQL, RXATT, BELL, Masked, Internet, DCSInv, DBCSName, ToneTx, CodeTx
The full description of the fields in the Export/Import .CSV file are described here:
download/ImportExportFileFormat.xls
Custom Format
Files can be exported in a custom format which is built from the fields available in the FTB8900 format.
Each field can be selected/rejected, and the sequence of fields out can be specified.
Each field can have a user-defined header field.
