Table 46 shows the supported file formats. The columns have the following meaning:
Name: The name of the file format as a string to be used in the import
command.
Binary/Text: “B” for binary file, “T” for text file.
Integer/Float: The data type of the values in the file, “I” for integer, “F” for
float value.
Range: The allowed range for the values. If the file contains out-of-range
values the import command returns an error, if scaling is disabled (see
trac:imp:scal command). If scaling is enabled, the whole waveform data
including out-of-range values for a channel is scaled.
Real-Only/Complex: “R” for real-only data, “C” for complex I/Q data.
Markers: The number of markers in the file format. Marker information from
the file is only used in Single Channel with Marker or Dual Channel with
Marker Mode and when imported to channel 1. Only 2 markers are
supported by the M8195. Excessive markers are ignored.
Channels: The number of channels (data columns) in the file format.
Complex I/Q data counts as one channel.
Parameter Header: If checked, indicates that the file format can contain a
header with parameters to be set in the M8195.
Data Header: If checked, indicates that the file format can contain a data
header determining the mapping of a data column to a channel.
Compatibility: Shows, which file format can be used for data exchange with
given instruments or instrument family.
