As to what exactly the data is depends on how you exported it.

But, from what you state, it sounds like you must have selected "Export Intraday Data To Text File". In this case, what you are seeing is the stored data, which is stored at the increment you define in your setting for "Intraday Data Storage Time Unit".

Assuming your time increment in 1 tick, then what you are seeing is every individual trade for that symbol. Items with the same millisecond were traded within the same millisecond and then are denoted by a counter that is added at the microsecond level, which is why you might see things like .123001 .123002, etc.

The BidVolume and AskVolume are the trade quantity traded at that bid or ask, meaning it was either a Buy (Ask) or a Sell (Bid).
