Using the File Conversion Utility
The disk supplied with the SR785 contains the conversion utility SRTRANS.EXE. There
is no installation required, simply copy to the program to your hard disk. The program
has a number of options, some of which are generally applicable, and some of which are
specific to certain output file types. In the following discussion of the program options,
text in [brackets] indicates optional parameters, and text in italics indicates that the text
should be replaced by the indicated parameters when using the program
Using SRTRANS
Usage: SRT785 [options] infile [outfile]
Infile specifies the file to be converted. Wildcard file characters (* and ?) are accepted.
Outfile specifies the name of the output file. If no name is supplied, the program creates
an output file with the same name as the input file and an extension appropriate to the
output file type.
Universal Options:
/Oxxx Output File Type
asc = ASCII (default)
78d = .78D SR785 display file
sdf = HP SDF (v3) File
mat = MATLAB binary file
uff = Universal File Format
cap = capture buffer (.78C) file
arb = arbitrary waveform buffer
/A Append to output file (uff and ASCII outputs only)
/Efilename Specify error log file. Default is Esrslog.txt
/J Append to logfile. Default is replace logfile
/? Help. For Help on options pertaining to a specfic output file specify the
ouput file type with no input file, e.g. srtrans /Oasc
Frequently used program options may be kept in a file named "SRT785.INI" in the
current directory. The .INI file is scanned for options before the command line options
are processed.
Converting Files to ASCII
Usage: SRT785 /Oasc [options] infile [outfile]
Allowed Input File Types: .78D Files, .78C files, .78W files.
Default Output File Extension: .ASC
