If you want to export a subset of signals from the con-
figuration, select the signals in the Variable Explorer.
You can export all signals that are assigned to a specific instru-
ment. In the Export Measure Data dialog, you can select
whether all signals from all sources shall be included or not.
Note that exporting from an instrument is currently only sup-
ported for oscilloscopes, scatter plots, and tables. In oscil-
loscopes, signals for which you have hidden the signal curve
are also exported.

Explorer, right-click and choose Export Measure Data.
To open the export dialog from an instrument, click the export
