OSRAM TMF8X0X 1D Time of Flight Sensor
User Guide

Log File Format

This document describes the log file format of the TMF8X0X EVM GUI. The user shall be able to log all data, which the TMF8X0X EVM GUI displays, into a single log file.

1.1 Overview
The TMF8X0X EVM GUI uses CSV as output format for the log file.
The first two lines are always (to allow usage independent of the Excel regional settings): sep=; VersionGUI “”
After that, the TMF8X0X EVM GUI adds a header line for each tag with the description of fields. This is the same format as in the data lines but instead of actual data there  is a field description.
All but the very first two lines always start with a hash mark “#” and the content as described in the next sections.
