Software and Firmware Updates
From time to time Agilent Technologies releases software and firmware
updates for its products. To search for firmware updates for your
oscilloscope, direct your web browser to
"www.agilent.com/find/2000X- Series- sw" .
To view the currently installed software and firmware press [Help] > About
Oscilloscope
.
Once you have downloaded a firmware update file, you can place it on a
USB storage device and load the file using File Explorer (see
"File
Explorer" on page 249), or you can use the Instrument Utilities page of
the oscilloscope's web interface (see "Instrument Utilities" on page 276).
Binary Data (.bin) Format
The binary data format stores waveform data in binary format and
provides data headers that describe that data.
Because the data is in binary format, the size of the file is approximately
5 times smaller than the ASCII XY format.
If more than one source is on, all displayed sources will be saved, except
math functions.
When using segmented memory, each segment is treated as a separate
waveform. All segments for a channel are saved, then all segments of the
next (higher numbered) channel are saved. This continues until all
displayed channels are saved.
When the oscilloscope is in the Peak Detect acquisition mode, the
minimum and maximum value waveform data points are saved to the file
in separate waveform buffers. The minimum value data points are saved
first; then, the maximum value data points are saved.
BIN data - using
segmented
memory
When saving all segments, each segment has its own waveform header (see
"Binary Header Format" on page 290).
In BIN file format, data are presented as follows:
• Channel 1 data (all segments)
