You should see a download button in the top right hand corner of the box - this will allow you to download and save the last 20 seconds of recorded data as a CSV file.
A CSV file records the numbers or data but does not have any formatting. It can be used by Excel or Numbers of Sheets
The CSV file may open directly into a spreadsheet. If it does NOT then find your downloads file and you should see a file titled data.csv
