To export measure data
To see how you can export a measure file for a selection of signals, or how to con-
vert a measure file into a new file format, watch our video Exporting Signals
and Files.
You have the following choices to export measure data:
If you want to export a complete measure file, e.g. into another file format
or just for a specific time range, select the measure file in the File Explorer.
If you want to export a subset of signals from the configuration, select the
signals in the Variable Explorer.
In case you want to export a subset of signals for a specific time range
only, the export from the instrument level is recommended. Then the
assigned signals and the visible time range are used as default values. In
the export dialog it is still possible to adapt the time range or to include all
signals in the export file.
Note that exporting from an instrument is currently only supported for oscil-
loscopes, scatter plots, and tables. In oscilloscopes, signals for which you
have hidden the signal curve are also exported.
1. Do one of the following:
l
To open the export dialog from the File Explorer or Variable Explorer,
right-click and choose Export Measure Data.
l
To open the export dialog from an instrument, click the export icon in
the toolbar of the instrument .
The Export Measure Data window displays the total number of signals
that will be exported. When exporting from an instrument, you can addi-
tionally choose to export all signals from all sources.
2. Define the start and end time.
If you have opened the export dialog from an instrument, it displays the
time values of the currently visible time range of the instrument by default.
3. To choose a folder path and file name, click Browse.
V8.6 checks whether a file with the same name already exists. If this is the
case, an increment is automatically appended to the export file name. If
the export file name is manually changed by the user to a file that already
exists, a warning message appears.
4. Click Export.
Note
When exporting a measure file, the attachments are deleted.
