The file is written according to the settings.
8.3.1 Waveform File Formats
Data of all waveforms is saved as a succession of values or pairs of values. Pairs of
values are written as two consecutive single values. Depending on the file format, only
amplitude values are stored, or the amplitude values are stored together with their time
value, or frequency value in FFT mode.
With export/import, you can change the target file format and convert the data.
To reload waveform data as a reference waveform, it must be stored in TRF or CSV
format.
8.3.1.1 CSV Format
In a Comma Separated Values text file, the waveform is stored in a two-columned
table. Columns are separated by a comma, and the lines are separated by line breaks
\r\n (0x0D 0x0A). Values are listed in scientific notation.
The first column contains the time values of the samples in relation to the trigger point,
and the second column contains the associated amplitude values. The first line indi-
cates the units of the values in each column, and the name of the waveform. Pairs of
values are listed as two single values with the same time value (minimum and maxi-
mum).
The data can be loaded back to the instrument for further use.
