Software for Chronographs geared towards reloading

[CWTISME]

Just bought a Caldwell Chronograph,downloaded the software from the Google play store.Seems a little basic. I am looking for more ways to crunch the numbers with an eye towards making the best loads . Any suggestions ?

I found it best to export from their app then you can do whatever you want.
It exports to text files like this:

Then you can parse it with any tool like python

I have a Competition Electronics l and use their software. (edit fixed typed Caldwell meat Comp. Elect.)
Data comes out as text format so you can bring it into most any app.
Databases, Excell (spreadsheet apps) etc.
I use the Microsoft stuff which I paid for but OpenOffice used to work pretty well and is a free suite of Apps. Windows, Mac, Linux versions available (other flavors may be as well)
If you program at all sometimes it is easier to cut it up for import with a little bit of code.

Google sheets sucks up Caldwell data exported via email. Nifty, you can the do a number of manipulations. I email the series to myself.

If you can get the data exported as wither txt or csv format you can pull it into MS Excel if you have it or OpenOffice, Google Sheets, etc for free. Any spreadsheet software should work for math type calculations.

When I email a group to myself, I get both the text version and a CSV file. I wrote a VBA routine to parse the CSV file and automatically update my Excel load data file.

I never remember how my chrony works and what string is what or what button to push for this or that, guess I need to use it more, so I just write down the velocity's then enter these numbers into my Excel load sheet where I have the formulas set up to calculate the data I want. It might seem harder but I have to look at each reading to make sure the number seems right so I might as well just write it down.
