Behavior. This dialog box opens when you select Save As from the File menu or click Save from the Reference Waveform
controls. The default file type is a Tektronix waveform file (.wfm).
If you select a different file type from the Save as Type list, you can also define the options for saving the waveform.
The default folder for reference waveforms is
C:\Users\[Username]\Tektronix\TekScope\Waveforms
.
The following file formats are available:
■
.wfm used for internal instrument formats
■
.csv used for spreadsheets, such as Microsoft Excel
■
.txt used for standard text file format
■
.dat used for Mathcad and MATLAB
NOTE. Any characters that you enter in the file name box become part of the file name. The instrument does not use any
user-defined file extensions.

Auto-increment the file name
1. Select the Auto-increment file name to save numerous similar files without retyping the entire file name each time.
2. Enter a Base file name.
3. Click Save.
For the initial save the default count is 000, but you can overwrite this number if you choose. Your first file is saved as [Base
filename][count].ext, where ext is the file extension. On subsequent saves, the instrument searches for the highest numbered
file name and increases the number by one, as in Base filename001.ext.
For example, if you are saving a series of rise time data files, you can use "Risetime" as the base file name. Your first file is
saved as Risetime000.ext, where ext is the file type extension. The next file will be Risetime001.ext, and so on.
TIP. If Count reaches 999, it is suggested that you change the base file name to Base filename1 (for example, Risetime1) on the
next save. Your next file will then be saved as Risetime1000.ext. You will receive a warning message if you are going to
overwrite any files with the same name.
