Appendix 3 ASCII Data File Format
The instrument can save waveform data to ASCII files. The format of such files is given below.
Data
Header Size
The number of header lines.
Model Name
The model name.
Comment
Comment attached at the time the data file was saved.
BlockNumber
Block number for this group.
When the block numbers vary depending on the waveform, this is the maximum block
number.
TraceName
Name of each waveform.
BlockSize
The number of data points in one block for each waveform.
VUnit
Each waveform's Y-axis unit (this has no effect on the data).
SampleRate
The sample rate at the time of waveform acquisition.
HResolution
Each waveform's X-axis conversion coefficient, HResolution.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HOffset
Each waveform's X-axis conversion coefficient, HOffset.
X-axis value = HResolution × (Data No. – 1) + HOffset
HUnit
Each waveform's X-axis unit (this has no effect on the data).
DisplayBlockSize
The length of the data displayed on the screen (the display record length).
DisplayPointNo.
This number shows what point in memory is displayed on the left-most side of the
display record length.
Date
Date when waveform acquisition completed.
Time
Time when waveform acquisition completed.
