Menu->save wav
eform menu. The type of file saved is dependent upon the
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat command.
For instrumen
ts with the arbitrary waveform feature, the source can be arbitrary
waveform edit memory (EMEM) or one of the internal arbitrary waveform
locations (ARB1 - ARB4).
Specifying ALL saves all displayed waveforms, depending upon the specified
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat, to the specified destination path. ALL can onlybe
used to save all waveforms to a single CSV file (SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat
SPREADSheet) or to individual ISF files with the path and file name prefix
specified by <file path> (SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat INTERNal). It cannot be
used to sa
ve to a reference memory slot.
With the INTERNal format, all displayed waveforms, excluding digital
wavefor
ms (D0-15) are saved to files in the specified destination path named as
<file path>_<wfm>.isf.
Arbitr
ary waveforms EMEM, ARB1 - ARB4 are not saved with the
:SAVe:WAVEform ALL, <file> command.
For ex
ample: With CH1,CH2 and MATH only displayed, the command
:SAVE:WAVEFORM ALL,"E:/MyWaveforms/Test1"
saves
CH1 to E:/MyWaveforms/Test1_CH1.isf
CH2 to E:/MyWaveforms/Test1_CH2.isf
MATH to E:/MyWaveforms/Test1_MATH.isf
Fo
r SPREADSheet format, the displayed waveforms are saved to a single CSV
file.
At
tempting to save a waveform to itself, such as: :
SAVe:WAVEform REF1,REF1
:SAVe:WAVEform ARB1,ARB1
results in an error event: 100,"Command error; Source and destination are the
same; ..
The MATLAB Level 5 file format description is as follows:
The RF_BB_IQ data can be exported to a file in a format that is readable by
MATLAB when RF_BB_IQ is saved with the MATLAB file format, which
is specified using :SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat:RF_BB_IQ MATLAB.
The MATLAB file format is the Level 5 format described in the "MAT-File
Format R2013a" document available from the MathWorks web site at
http://www.mathworks.com/help/pdf_doc/matlab/matfile_format.pdf. This
section describes our use of the Level 5 format for the export of RF_BB_IQ data
