Segmented memory save formats
Segmented memory data can be saved as a screen capture (in BMP or
PNG format) or in CSV, ASCII XY, or BIN (data file format). The Save
Segment setting is relevant to data file formats, not screen capture
formats.
When saving waveform capture at maximum memory depth, you can
expect the following approximate save times:
The primary difference between CSV format and ASCII XY data format is
that in CSV all data are presented as columns in a single spreadsheet file,
whereas in ASCII XY the data are presented in separate files for channel
1, channel 2, channel 3, channel 4, digital channels 0- 7, digital channels
8- 15, and math waveforms.
For more information, see:
• “Binary Data (.bin) Format” on page 414
• “CSV and ASCII XY files” on page 422
Format (ALB data file format settings in Save Menu)
You can acquire data from the oscilloscope in ALB format, then analyze it
offline (on a PC) using the Agilent B4610A Data Import Tool for Offline
Viewing and Analysis. See Agilent publication number 5989- 7834EN at
www.agilent.com.
When you choose any ALB format other than Default, waveforms from the
analog channels (if displayed) are also digitized and displayed as digital
waveforms. The analog channel’s trigger level determines the point at
which the voltage is considered a logic 1 or 0.
Available ALB serial formats include:
CSV 2 hours
ASCII XY 30 minutes
BIN 3 minutes
