Data Export

You can export data from IOTA Vue to CSV for offline analysis or reporting in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

Which components can export

Some components let you export their data directly using a download button. Whether the button is available depends on how the person who built the display configured the component.

• Line Chart — when the chart's on-chart controls are enabled, a download icon appears in the chart's top-right toolbar. Use it to export every signal currently on the chart.

• Table — when the table's Global Filter is enabled, a download icon appears next to the filter box.

The ad hoc trend exports the same way, since it is a line chart with controls — open a trend, isolate the signals and time range you want, then use its download icon.

How the exported data is represented

The export is a CSV file structured as follows:

• The first column is named x and holds the timestamp of each row, in your selected time format.
• Each remaining column is one channel, with the channel's full path as the column header — for example \\sandboxCS\Ad Hoc Demo\Heat Exchangers\HEX01|Thermal Effectiveness.

Each row is a single point in time. The export contains the raw values returned for each channel at that channel's own timestamps. It does not resample or interpolate the data onto a shared time grid, and it does not apply the chart's plot type (such as Step). Because different channels report at different times, a row often has a value for one channel and blank cells for the others. A blank cell means that channel had no value at that exact timestamp — it does not mean the value was zero.
