To use.
1. Select the data format (Data Destination) for the waveform you want to save:
a. Select Spreadsheet (TXT) to include spreadsheet data separated by white space.
b. Select Spreadsheet (CSV) to include spreadsheet data separated by commas.
c. Select Mathcad or Matlab to save the waveform in Mathcad or Matlab format.
d. Select TekWaveform (*.wfm) to save the waveform in the TekScope waveform format. When waveform is selected,
save waveform options like waveform data range, FastFrame data range, waveform detail and data ordering are
disabled.
e. Select HDF5 (*.h5) to save the waveform in HDF5 format. HDF5 saves the entire waveform. When HDF5 is selected,
save waveform options like waveform data range, FastFrame data range, waveform detail and data ordering are
disabled.
2. Select a valid waveform from the Sources to Save list: Channel <1– 4>, Math <1–4>, Ref <1– 4>, All Digital, All Analog, All
Math, or All Displayed Sources.
3. Select the number of samples you want to save under Waveform Data Range:
a. Select a range of samples.
b. Select only the Samples between Cursors. If you select Samples between Cursors, you can use the multipurpose
knobs to adjust the positions if the cursors are already active. If they are not, the cursors are activated in their most
recent positions.
c. Select only Samples in Zoom Area.
d. Select All samples.
4. If the waveform is a FastFrame waveform, specify the FastFrame Data Range.
5. Click the Include waveform scale factors check box if you want to include waveform details like header information (record
length, sample interval, trigger point information, and so on). If you only want to include the waveform voltage values, clear
the selection.
6. If you are saving Fast Acquisition data, select the Data Ordering from the drop-down list.
7. Click OK to return to the Save As dialog box , where you can assign your own file name and save the waveforms to a
specified folder. By default, the file is saved to the
C:\Users\[Username]\Tektronix\TekScope\Waveforms
folder. If the information is saved as a CSV file, then the file is saved to the
C:\Users\[Username]\Tektronix
\TekScope\data
folder by default.
Behavior. The waveform data is saved as numeric values. The data destination you select here is the file type selection used in
the Save As dialog box. Use the Save As dialog box to finalize the selections and to save the waveform to a file. Options are
grayed out if they are not available with the currently selected data destination.

CSV text format
In the Tektronix oscilloscope, you can save the waveform data generated in CSV format. You can import this waveform data into
an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for analysis. The waveform data occupies five columns in the spreadsheet.
NOTE. Do not enter math formulas or other data in the first 3 columns. Data in the first 3 columns is deleted if you paste new
waveform data into the spreadsheet.
