Syntax
SAVe:WAVEform <wfm>,{<file path>|REF<x>}
Arguments
H <wfm>
This is the waveform that will be saved. Valid waveforms include
CH<x>, MATH<y>, and REF<x>.
H REF<x>
This specifies the location in internal reference memory to where the
waveform is stored.
H <file path>
This is the location to 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 optional. If you do not specify them, the in-
strument will read the waveform from the default directory. <file-
name> stands for a filename of up to 125 characters, followed by a
period (”.”) and the three --character extension. Internal format wave-
forms use the .wfm extension for spreadsheet format files or the .dat
extension for MathCad format files. The instrument will generate an
error if you use any other extension for saving a waveform.
Example 1
SAVe:WAVEform MATH2,REF2
This command saves the Math2 waveform in reference memory loca-
tion2.
Example 2
SAVe:WAVEform MATH1,”TEK0000.WFM”
This command saves the Math1 waveform to the file
TEK00000.WFM in
the default directory and on the default drive.
