EXPORT
The ASCII FILE EXPORT softkey stores the active trace in ASCII format to a
disk.
IEC/IEEE-bus command: FORM ASC;
MMEM:STOR:TRAC 1,'TRACE.DAT'
The file consists of a header, which contains important scaling parameters,
and a data section, which contains the trace data.
The file header data comes in three columns separated by semicolons (;).
It has the following contents:
parameter name; numerical value; default unit
The data section starts with the keyword "Trace <n>", where <n> designates
the number of the trace to be stored. This is followed by the measured data in
columns separated by semicolons (;).
This format can be read by spreadsheet programs such as MS Excel.
A semicolon (;) is to be defined as a separator between the cells of a table.
Note: Analysis programs may come in different language versions that
require different notations of the decimal point. By means of the
DECIM SEP softkey, a decimal point (.) or a comma (,) can be
selected as decimal-point notation.
For a detailed description of the ASCII file format, refer to section "Selection
and Setting of Traces – TRACE Key", ASCII FILE EXPORT softkey.
DECIM SEP
. ,
By means of the DECIM SEP softkey, one can select between a decimal point
(.) and a comma (,) as decimal-point notation for the ASCII FILE EXPORT
function.
Due to the possibility of selecting between different decimal-point notations,
different language versions of analysis programs (such as MS Excel) can be
supported.
