Save Waveform
The Save Wavefo
rm action saves the specified waveform to a file named
TEKnnnn.CSV, or to reference memory. The oscilloscope saves waveform data to
files as "comma separated values" (.CSV format), which are ASCII text strings
that list the time (relative to the trigger) and amplitude values for each of the
2500 waveform data points. You can import .CSV files into many spreadsheet
and math analysis applications.
