What data export and data import options does the eGauge support?

Most users will probably access data on an eGauge meter via the classic interface or mobile-friendly interface. These interfaces are designed for ease of use and accessibility. However, advanced users may also be interested in other options to read data form (or into) the eGauge meter.
