FileOption (File Format)
Used only when streaming data directly from a data table or data table field. It specifies the format used when writing data to the server. The file created on the server will automatically be appended with an incrementing file number and a “.dat” file extension. If 1000 is added to the format (for example, 1008), the datalogger will not automatically append the incrementing number or “.dat” extension to the uploaded file. If the FileOption parameter is entered as a negative value (for example, -1008), if a file of the same name is already present, no additional header will be appended to the file. Instead, only new records are appended so that data records are contiguous. Options 0, 8, 16, and 32 correspond to Campbell Scientific's defined formats for TOB1, TOA5, CSIXML, and CSIJSON, respectively.
