File Format for Limit Lines
The analyzer uses a simple ASCII format to export limit line data. By default, the limit
line file has the extension
*.limit
and is stored in the directory shown in the "Save
Limit Line" and "Recall Limit Line" dialogs. The file starts with a preamble containing
the channel and trace name and the header of the segment list. The following lines
contain the entries of all editable columns of the list.
