Hi, Graham,

Thanks for your reply.

I have exported the packets summary in CSV. But I want to export the data (Siemens PLC S7comm packets query, response) as well.

I can print this data in pdf, unfortunately not in csv.

Thanks.

Unfortunately CSV output can only use the columns displayed in the packet list. Either add the required items as columns or use one of the other formats, e.g. JSON.

Hi,

How to add the below data in the columns?
I simply dragged the below data to columns, but I can only see a tick mark in the column.
S7 Communication Header: (Job) Parameter: (Read Var) Function: Read Var (0x04) Item count: 7 Item [1]: (DB 1.DBX 60.0 WORD 1) Item [2]: (DB 1.DBX 50.0 WORD 1) Item [3]: (DB 1.DBX 1018.0 WORD 1) Item [4]: (DB 1.DBX 910.0 DWORD 1) Item [5]: (M 0.2 BIT 1) Item [6]: (M 0.0 BIT 1)

I don't think you can use the "Item" elements as columns, there's no way to select which of the multiple items appears in the column.

I think you'll have to use a format other than csv. The problem with csv is that the output columns have to be known at the start, but the code only knows which columns to output once a packet has been dissected which is too late. Other formats such as JSON allow variable length "records" (and arrays of items) so don't suffer this problem.

Hi, Ok

Could you please guide me on how to save this data in JSON format?

I believe I can convert the data from JSON to CSV later. Please let me know.
