Recording Waveform Data
Note
If the operation type is instantaneous value measurement,
waveform data are not stored.
The duration of the recorded waveform data depends
on the averaging count. As a rough guideline, the
maximum le size is 1 MB, which corresponds to
about 10 seconds at a sampling frequency of 51.2 kHz.
During processing, the waveform recording in progress
indicator is ashing in the top section of the
graph.
When data are stored after processing, or at the point
when data are stored after averaging processing was
stopped by pressing the START/STOP key, the wave-
form data used for averaging processing are recorded.
However, more than 1 MB cannot be recorded.
Re-analyzing waveform data
The optional waveform analysis software AS-70 or CAT-WAVE can be used
to re-analyze the waveform data.
Re-analyzing on the VA-12 itself is not possible.

• The maximum WAVE le size that can be stored is 1 MB. When the waveform recording range
is longer than this, only more recent data are stored and older data are discarded, to keep the
WAVE le size under 1 MB.
•
The data available when the S2 STORE key is pressed are non-contiguous because the measurement
was paused midway. In the WAVE le, the waveform data of the two sections will be joined.
Waveform data store range
(When STORE key is pressed, the most recent waveform data used for averaging processing are stored as waveform data.)
