CSV or delimited data parser plugin for Data Loggers

Latest version: 5.0.1 build 1126. November 28, 2025.

This plugin is designed for engineers, system integrators, and IT specialists who work with serial or TCP/IP data streams. It parses tab, comma, or custom delimited text and converts each line into structured fields. You can define your own delimiters, quote characters, and parsing rules. The plugin then exports the parsed values as named variables, ready for export to databases, Excel, log files, or custom integrations.

The plugin is ideal when a device, controller, or software sends ASCII lines that look like CSV or similar text. For example, a sensor gateway may send:

2025-11-28 08:00:00;CH1;23.45;OK
2025-11-28 08:00:05;CH1;23.47;OK

With the plugin, you can split each line into fields such as DATE_TIME_STAMP, channel, value, and status.

These fields become variables that can be processed and exported. You can apply this not only to semicolon-separated values but also to comma, tab, or any other character that suits your device output. The plugin helps you transform a raw, continuous text flow into clean and structured data without writing your own parser code.

Key features

• The plugin can extract data packets from common data flow using data record signatures or regular expressions.
• Split a data packet to one or more parser items from CSV columns separated by any character (tab, comma, semicolon).
• Some data packets can be filtered using a built-in filter;
• The parser can replace escape sequences like \t, \n with corresponding ASCII codes.
• You can select necessary columns, or the plugin will parse out all data.
• The parser can extract column names that can be present in CSV data.
