There are several ways to generate a CSV file containing measurement data and metadata in the first line, depending on the programming language you are using. Here is an example in Python:
import csv
metadata = {'Name': 'John Smith', 'Date': '01/01/2022', 'Measurement device': 'Sensor X'}
data = [['Time', 'Value'],
['12:00', '1.2'],
['12:01', '3.4'],
['12:02', '0.9']]
with open('measurement_data.csv', 'w', newline='') as file:
writer = csv.writer(file)
writer.writerow(metadata.keys())
writer.writerow(metadata.values())
This will create a new CSV file called 'measurement_data.csv' and write the metadata dictionary as the first line.
with open('measurement_data.csv', 'a', newline='') as file:
writer = csv.writer(file)
writer.writerows(data)
This will append the measurement data to the file, starting from the second line. The final CSV file should look like this:
Name, Date, Measurement device
John Smith, 01/01/2022, Sensor X
Time, Value
12:00, 1.2
12:01, 3.4
12:02, 0.9
