Display Image and Waveform Data File Formats
Display image and waveform data files can be saved on a USB mass
storage device, but they cannot be saved to the oscilloscope’s internal
memory.
Press [Save/Recall] > Save > Format to select a format.
You can save the display image in the following file formats:
• BMP (8-bit) image file — The screen image is converted to a smaller, lower
resolution bitmap file of the complete screen (including the status line
and softkeys).
• BMP (24-bit) image file — This is a larger, high- resolution bitmap file of
the complete screen.
• PNG (24-bit) image file — This is an image file that uses lossless
compression. Files are much smaller than the BMP format.
You can save waveform data in the following formats:
• CSV data file — This creates a file of comma- separated variable values of
all displayed channels and math waveforms. This format is suitable for
spreadsheet analysis. Serial decode Lister data is also saved in CSV
format. (See also page 422.)
• ASCII XY data file— This creates a file of comma- separated variables for
each displayed channel (including serial decode waveforms). If the
oscilloscope acquisition is stopped, then data records greater than 1000
points can be written. This format is also suitable for spreadsheets.
• BIN data file — This creates a binary file with a header, and data in the
form of time and voltage pairs. This file is much smaller than the ASCII
XY data file. If the oscilloscope acquisition is stopped, then data
records greater than 1000 points can be written. (See also page 414.)
• ALB data file — This creates a file in an Agilent proprietary format which
can be read by Agilent logic analyzers. You can use Agilent’s B4610A
Data import tool for offline viewing and analysis.
• Mask test data file — This creates a mask file in an Agilent proprietary
format which can be read by Agilent InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. A mask
data file includes certain setup information, but not all setup
information. To save all setup information including the mask data file,
choose “Trace and Setup” format instead. (See also “Analyzing Data” on
page 343.)
