Signal Export includes four sub-sections for signal export settings.
General Properties defines the signal attributes to be included in exported files
including: spectrum format, window type, window correction mode, energy
factor, amplitude factor, acquisition/calculation method, amplitude scaling,
averaging mode (lin/exp averaging time constant), and number of averages. By
default, these attributes are exported with the data. These settings only apply to
ASCII, MatLab and Excel CSV data export formats. The other formats use a
predefined list of attributes that cannot be modified.
Text export layout settings are also defined here. The options are to only export Y
values and to export any X start and step values.
Common Properties defines additional signal attributes to be exported
including signal name, sampling rate, block size, X unit, Y unit, and NVH signal
type. These settings only apply to ASCII, MatLab and Excel CSV data export
formats.
Frequency Properties defines additional signal attributes to be exported with
frequency-domain signals including spectrum format, window type, window
