To save CSV or BIN data files
Data files can be saved to an external USB storage device.
1.
Press
[Save/Recall] > Save > Format
. Then turn the
Entry
knob to select CSV data (*.csv) or
Binary data (*.bin).
2.
Press the second softkey and use the
Entry
knob to select a save location. See
.
3.
Press the
Settings
softkey and configure these options:
l
Setup Info
— when enabled, setup information (vertical, horizontal, trigger, acquisition,
math, and display settings) is also saved in a separate file with a TXT extension.
l
Length
— sets the maximum number of data points to be saved (see
),
below.

Press
Press to Save

CSV Data
A CSV data file saves comma-separated values for each displayed waveform as multiple columns
in one file. Math FFT waveforms, whose values are in the frequency domain, are appended at the
bottom. Waveform labels are used as column headers. This format is suitable for spreadsheet
analysis. For CSV data, length "N" value-at-time measurements are performed across the entire
screen (using measurement data) for each active signal. Interpolation between data points is
performed as needed.
Length Control
The Length control sets the number of displayed data points saved to a CSV or BIN file. Enabling
Max Length saves the maximum number of waveform data points, depending on these things:
Whether acquisitions are running:
When stopped, data comes from the raw
acquisition record. When running, data comes from the smaller measurement
record.
Whether the instrument was stopped using [Stop] or [Single]:
Running
acquisitions split memory to provide fast waveform updates. Single acquisitions
use full memory.
Whether reference waveforms are on:
Displayed reference waveforms consume
acquisition memory.
The horizontal time/div setting:
At faster settings, fewer data points appear on
the display.
