CSV usually collect data registered from machines. They provide a series of values regarding each parameter. Example a machine that cuts a slime in pieces: orange,35,37,y where orange is the reference produced, 35 is the target weight, 37 the actual weight, y means the piece was accepted. A CSV file is longer and contains information of multiple events, always on the same format, like the one above. These data in the CSV file are usually extracted on a spreadsheet or a specific software that read and riavviare the data to make them easy to read and interpret.
