SAVe:WAVEfor
m (No Query Form)
This command (no query form) saves a waveform to one of four reference
memory locations or a file. This command is equivalent to selecting Reference
Waveforms fr
om the File menu and choosing Save Wfm from the drop-down list.

Arguments
<wfm> is the waveform that will be saved. Va lid waveforms include CH<x>,
MATH<y>, and
REF<x>.
REF<x> specifies the location in internal reference memory where the waveform
is stored.
<file p ath> is the location where the waveform is stored. <file path> is a
quoted string that defines the file name and path. Input the file path using the
form <drive>/<dir>/<filename>. <drive> and one or more < dir>s are optiona l. If
you do not specify them, the instrument will read the waveform from the default
directory. <filename> stands
for a filename of up to 125 characters, followed by a
period (“. ”) and the three-character extension. Internal format waveforms use
the .wfm extension, spreadsheet format files use the .csv extension and MathCad
format files use the .dat extension. The instrument will generate an error if you
use any other extension for saving a waveform.
Examples
SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH2,REF2 saves the Math2 waveform in reference memory
location2.
SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH1,"TEK0000.WFM" saves the Math1 waveform to the
file TEK00000.WFM in the default directory and on the default drive.
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat
This command specifies or returns the file format for saved waveforms. Waveform
header and timing information is included in the resulting file of non-internal
formats. The instrument saves DPO waveforms as a 1000 x 502 matrix, with the
first row corresponding to the most recently acquired data. The values specified by
DATa:STARt and DATa:STOP determinetherangeofwaveformdatatooutput.
In the event that DATa:STOP value is greater than the current record length, the
current record length determines the last output value.
