If you selected more than one line to save, the value and time information for each line is stored independently, as in the following example:

"Soap","Soap_TIME","Wax","Wax_TIME"

1,"03-01-1996 19:29:34.000",1,"03-01-1996 19:29:34.000"

575,"03-01-1996 19:34:34.000",575,"03-01-1996 19:34:34.000"

183,"03-01-1996 19:29:01.840",476,"03-01-1996 19:25:19.270"

179,"03-01-1996 19:29:02.850",472,"03-01-1996 19:25:20.280"

175,"03-01-1996 19:29:03.850",468,"03-01-1996 19:25:21.580"

172,"03-01-1996 19:29:04.860",467,"03-01-1996 19:25:22.590"

169,"03-01-1996 19:29:14.890",466,"03-01-1996 19:25:32.980"

165,"03-01-1996 19:29:15.900",462,"03-01-1996 19:25:34.000"

If the reference file is for an array point, the second line contains the first array element, the third line contains the last array elements, and the rest of the rows contain the rest of the array elements. All array elements have the same time value. For example:

"Step", "Step_TIME"

100, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"

105, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"

101, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"

102, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"

103, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"

104, "03-01-1996 18:19:34.000"
