Appendix 5 Output Data Format used when Saving
Waveform Data (Example DL1540L)
Header Files (Files with the identifier of “.HDR”)
The header file is always saved with the data, irrespective of the data type. The header file
contains information in ASCII format used when saved waveforms are recalled for analysis.
The same header file is used by all YOKOGAWA measuring instruments, so it may contain
some data which is not necessary for this instrument.
Only a brief description is given in this section. Detailed technical information on the
header file is available from YOKOGAWA.
If you need this information, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA representative.
