2.3.4 Data Collection and Table Control Transactions
2.3.4.1 Table Definitions
Since dataloggers store data in tables, the datalogger and the application must
understand and agree on the structure of each table in order to collect data.
Table definitions contain the parameters that describe each table, record, and
field in the datalogger and are contained in a file on the datalogger with a
“.TDF” file extension.
Table definitions are used by the application to know what tables and fields
exist and what data to expect from each table when collecting values from the
datalogger. The table definitions specifically describe the data tables, records,
and fields that have been established by the program in the datalogger. These
table definitions are necessary to calculate the table signature for the Collect
