ASCII Format (export template)
6.3.3.1.1 Overview
Waveforms can also be saved in a configurable ASCII-format and thus made accessible to other programs for further
processing. It is also possible, for example, to save multiple waveforms together in a multi-column file, to record extra
infos in a file header or in column title, as well as to define numerical formats and column separators.
Such a format definition is called an ASCII export template. A template is defined by the user with the help of a dialog,
and saved under a permanent name.
When saving structured data types (segmented waveforms, waveforms with events, 2-component waveforms), the
individual parts (channels, events, segments, components) are branched out in the display, appearing in respective
rows.
Note
ASCII format can also be imported by Excel, similarly to a CSV-file.
6.3.3.1.2 Defining ASCII export templates
The template definition dialog offers controls for all settings necessary for complete definition of an ASCII export
template. Because of the large amount of available options, the dialog is divided into different index cards.
