H MATLab
This specifies that waveforms are saved in Matlab format, using a .dat
filename extension. When saving in this format, waveform values are
delimited with new lines. MATLAB format enables easy import of
waveform data into MathCad or MATLAB.
For FastAcq waveforms, data is imported as a matrix. For these for-
mats, waveform header and timing information is saved in a separate
header file. MATLAB format header files use a _hdr.dat extension.
H SPREADSHEETCsv
This specifies that waveform data is saved in a format that contains
comma delimited values. These waveform data files are named using
the .csv filename extension. Saving waveforms in CSV format en-
ables spreadsheet programs to import the data.
H SPREADSHEETTxt
This specifies that waveform data is saved in a format that contains
tab delimited values. These waveform data files are named using the
.txt filename extension. Saving waveforms in this format enables
spreadsheet programs to import the data.
Example 1
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat INTERNal
This command specifies that the internal file format is the format used
for saving waveforms.
Example 2
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat?
This query might return
:SAVE:WAVEFORM:FILEFORMAT INTERNAL
indicating that waveforms are saved using the internal format.
