    Thanks for attaching the CSV file. I can see that something is a bit off with this file... The Engine RPM data column ranges from 0 to 999 RPM, while the Vehicle Speed ranges from 506 to 1988 km/h, and the data fields don't seem to match up with the listed channels in general.

    This actually just a European number formatting issue with VCM Scanner's export, related to your computer's regional settings, where commas are being used as decimal separators, which conflicts with the CSV format's nature of using commas to separate the data channels. So, for example, when it wrote the timestamp for 0.225 seconds, that came out as "0,225", which then looks like two separate data columns and generally makes a mess of things.

    I'll followup with our team to see if we can get this fixed in VCM Scanner.

    In the meantime, you should be able to work around this by changing your computer's regional settings to use '.' as the decimal separator instead, and then doing the VCM Scanner export to .CSV again:
    1) Go to Control Panel
    2) Click on "Clock, Language, and Region"
    3) Click on "Change date, time, or number formats"
    4) Click on "Additional Settings"
    5) Set "Decimal symbol" to '.'
    6) Set "Digit grouping symbol" to ','
    7) Click "OK"

    (You may need to reboot your computer for this to fully take effect)

    Unfortunately, the dyno log you attached does not include any timestamps or other timing information, so it would not be possible to use this file in its present form. All of the other data inside it looks good, so you would just need to find a way to add a time column that provides a timestamp for each data sample. A timestamp can be as simple as being a number of seconds since the log began.
