Using ASCII-Stored Files
The ASCII waveform storage feature allows waveforms to
be stored to a mass-memory device in any of three ASCII
formats: Spreadsheet, Mathcad and MATLAB. Each format
is tailored for a commonly used analysis package. The
user-interface changes supporting ASCII waveform storage
are found in the STORE menu (see Chapter 13).
The table below summarizes the three formats’ basic layout.
Examples of the use of each format are given on the following
pages.
