Once you've downloaded the Libre software from Abbott website, plug in your reader to your computer device and the program will open.
If you go to File - Export Data - Give a file name and choose where you want the document to be stored etc, then click Save. It will save the data as csv file which can then be opened in a spreadsheet. Once this has opened into your spreadsheet, you will see a LOT of numbers in columns. I can't remember, off-hand, what they all are but the first few columns will be the results of the Reader scans, one column being its own automatic scans (I believe they are at 5 min intervals, not 15) and the next column being the results from your own manual scans. Other columns probably relate to amounts of insulin given, when you've eaten etc, if you've input the info.
I haven't heard of the LibreView so I will download that now and see what it's about
Many thanks for that

[Edit 9.42] Having just checked, LibreView is the software downloaded from Abbott and the same as I've used to explain how to get further data.
Also, if anyone happens to be a 'whizz' on spreadsheets, there is a way to turn this data into more meaningful displays, including graphs etc. That would be very helpful as the graphs could then be displayed in whatever way you prefer. Having said that, the graphs on LibreView are excellent.
Oh, and if you want to keep an electronic copy of the pages, go to Print, then choose MS Print to PDF, or anyother equivalent. As well as printing the pages, you can have them in a file
