Export all project variables as CSV file

Use Project > Export > Variables of a CSV file > All project variables... to create a text file in CSV (Character Separated Values) format. This means that the individual entries are separated by commas ‘,’ or semicolons ‘;’. (The separator can be set under Extras > Options > Program options > CSV export).With these text data, information about variables can later be imported in external programs, e.g. for process visualization.

  1. Project > Export > Variables of a CSV file > All project variables...
  2. Select path
  3. Enter file name
  4. Select file type

    Two file formats are available:

    • Unicode UTF-16 format (default). This is the recommended format with correct representation of all Unicode characters. This format can only be imported with Control FPWIN Pro version 5.31 or higher.
    • Multibyte (Multi-Byte Character Set, MBCS) format. This format can be imported with all earlier versions of Control FPWIN Pro.
  5. OK
