11.11 Saving Automatic Measurement Results
Function
The instrument lets you save results of automatic measurements to floppy disk, Internal hard
disk, or SCSI device. The save file is assigned the “.CSV” file extension. The file contains
measurement results of the waveform parameters selected for automatic measurement.
These CSV files are in comma-delimited text format. This format is widely used for transferring
data among commercial database and spreadsheet applications.
Auto naming function
When “Auto Naming” is set to ON, files are automatically created with 3-digit numbers from
“000” to “999.” A common filename (up to 5 characters, specified with Filename) can be
inserted before the number.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to measurement saves.
• A maximum of 16 parameters can be saved.
• The save can include results from as many as 512 measurement cycles (starting from the
most recent cycle and working back), provided that the Time/div, Volt/div, and “Measure”
settings have remain fixed. You cannot save any results obtained before the most recent
change in any of these settings.
