6.5.6: Scope Files
The Scope Tool can save trace data in Copley Controls scope files (.sco files) that can be opened
later with the CME 2 Trace Viewer.
Simultaneously, a version of the same trace is stored in a comma-separated text file (.csv) that
can be opened with a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel (or other programs) for
mathematical analysis. The format of the .csv file is:
Column 1: time
Column 2: Trace Channel 1
Column 3: Trace Channel 2 (if used)
Column n: Trace Channel n (if used)
NOTE: By default, scope files are saved in the ScopeData folder in the CME 2 installation folder.
For instance, c:\Program Files\Copley Motion\CME 2\ScopeData.
To save trace data:
1 Generate the trace you wish to save.
2 In the Oscilloscope window, click the Save to Disk icon ( ).
When prompted, enter a File Name. If needed, navigate from the default
ScopeData folder to another folder where you wish to store the file.
3 Click Save to save the .sco and .csv files in the same folder and close the screen
or click Cancel to close the screen without saving any files.
To view a Trace File with the CME 2 trace viewer
1 On the Main screen, choose ToolsTrace Viewer to open the Trace Viewer
window.
2 Click Open File. When prompted, select the name of the file you wish to open.
Then, click Open to display the file in the Trace Viewer window.
