File descriptions
The top level folder described above will contain two types of files. The first is a file
named as follows:
config.csv
This is a text file that documents the instrument configuration for this scan. The
timestamp is as described above. This file lists the configuration of the instrument
in a human readable form.
In addition to the config.csv file, you will have one or more data files named as
follows:
dat#####.csv
If you use the command MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit OFF, all of the data
will be stored in one file, named dat00001.csv.
You can issue the command MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit ON to limit the
data to 64K - 1 (65,535) sweeps per file, in which case the sweeps are stored in
multiple files, named dat00001.csv, dat00002.csv, dat00003.csv, and so on.
This is helpful for importing data into spreadsheet or other data analysis software.
Note that some spreadsheet or data analysis software may import the data more
easily if you change the extension from csv to txt. If your software does not
import the file correctly, try changing the extension on the data file.
