Binary Data (.bin) Format

The binary data format stores waveform data in binary format and provides data
headers that describe that data.
Because the data is in binary format, the size of the file is approximately 5 times
smaller than the ASCII XY format.
If more than one source is on, all displayed sources will be saved, except math
functions.
When using segmented memory, each segment is treated as a separate
waveform. All segments for a channel are saved, then all segments of the next
(higher numbered) channel are saved. This continues until all displayed channels
are saved.
When the oscilloscope is in the Peak Detect acquisition mode, the minimum and
maximum value waveform data points are saved to the file in separate waveform
buffers. The minimum value data points are saved first; then, the maximum value
data points are saved.
BIN data - using When saving all segments, each segment has its own waveform header (see
segmented "Binary Header Format"
memory
In BIN file format, data are presented as follows:
• Channel 1 data (all segments)
• Channel 2 data (all segments)
• Channel 3 data (all segments)
• Channel 4 data (all segments)
• Digital channel data (all segments)
• Math waveform data (all segments)
