1.5 Automatic Saving of the Measured Data, File
Format Conversion, and Other Settings
The following functions are functions of the WE7000 Control Software.
For the operations of these items, see the on-line help that is provided with the WE7000
Control Software.
Automatic Saving of Waveform Data
In addition to saving the data displayed on the waveform monitor, you can also have the
waveform data automatically saved using a trigger or save the data continuously in free
run mode.
During Trigger/Gate Mode
There are two methods of saving the measured values.
• Cyclic
You specify the number of files, and the data are saved in a cyclic pattern within the
specified number of files until the measurement is stopped. The newest data are not
the file with the largest file number, but the file to which the data were saved
immediately before stopping the measurement.

• File number limit
You specify the number of files, and the data are saved up to the specified number
and then the operation stops.
During Free Run Mode
You can select to save the data to one file or to multiple files such as by specifying the
number of data points.
Converting Waveform Data
Waveform data that are saved can be converted to ASCII data in CSV format (*.csv) or to
a physical value in 32-bit floating point format (conforming to IEEE754-1985) (*.wvf).
This file conversion can also be performed on data saved with the waveform monitor.

Scaling the Measured Data
Set the measured values at any two points (VP1 and VP2) and their corresponding
physical values (SP1 and SP2) or set the scaling coefficient (a) and offset value (b) to
define the scale conversion equation (Y=ax+b). The measured values are converted to
physical values according to this equation, and the waveform display and saving
operations are carried out.
