Format
The le Format softkey determines the format that is used to store waveforms
to a disk. The three waveform le formats are internal, text verbose, and text
Y values. The two mask le formats are mask only, and mask and setup.
When a text le is loaded into the instrument, it is placed into one of the four
waveform memories by overwriting any data that was previously stored in
that waveform memory.

Internal
The
internal
format
is
a
binary
le format,
which if
you
try
to
read
it
in
a
word
processing
program,
it
will
give
you
meaningless information.
However,
this
is
the
preferred
waveform-storage
method
because
the
les
take up
one-third
as
much
disk
space
as
text
les
.
Y
ou
can
always
convert
them
to
text
les
at
a
later
date
.
Internal
format
les
have
a
.W
A
V
le
extension.
W
aveform
les
stored
using
the
internal
format
contain
the
vertical
and
horizontal
scaling
parameters
of
the
original
waveform.
Therefore
,
you
can go
into the
W
aveform
menu
and
turn
on
the
display
for
the
waveform
memory that
the le
was
loaded
into
.
Then,
you
can
perform
measurements
on the
waveform, compare
it to
other
waveforms
,
rescale
it
vertically
and
horizontally,
or use
it as
a
function
operand.
