Disk Commands
SAVe:WAVeform
SAVe:WAVeform
Command :DISK:SAVe:WAVeform
<source>,<file_name>[,<format>[,<header>]]
The :DISK:SAVe:WAVeform command saves a waveform to a disk. If the source
is ALL, all of the currently displayed waveforms are saved to the file. If you use
a file extension as shown below in the <format> variable, then the type of file
saved defaults to the extension type. If no format is specified and no extension
is used, the file is saved in the INTernal format.
See the :WAVeform:VIEW command to determine how much data is saved.
<source>
{ALL | BUS<N> | CHANnel<N> | FUNCtion<N> | HISTogram | POD1 | POD2 |
PODALL | WMEMory<N>}
The BUS<N>, POD1, POD2, and PODALL sources are only available on the
5483xD and MSO8000 series oscilloscopes.
<N>
An integer, 1-4
POD1
Bits 0 through 7 of the digital channels only available on the 5483xD and
MSO8000 series Infiniium oscilloscopes. Must use the BIN, CSV, INTernal, TSV,
or TXT format.
POD2
Bits 8 through 15 of the digital channels only available on the 5483xD and
MSO8000 series Infiniium oscilloscopes. Must use the BIN, CSV, INTernal, TSV,
or TXT format.
PODALL
Bits 0 through 15 of the digital channels only available on the 5483xD and
MSO8000 series Infiniium oscilloscopes. Must use the BIN, CSV, INTernal, TSV,
or TXT format.
<file_name>
A quoted ASCII string with a maximum of 254 characters including the entire
path name, if used. The filename assumes the present working directory if a
path does not precede the file name. The default path is C:\SCOPE\DATA.
<format> {BIN | CSV | INTernal | TSV | TXT}
CSV stands for comma seperated values and TSV stands for tab seperated
values. BUS<N> can only be saved in the CSV, TSV, or TXT formats.
The following file name extensions are used for the different formats.
BIN = file_name.bin
CSV = file_name.csv
INTernal = file_name.wfm
TSV = file_name.tsv
