• ASCII XY data file— This creates a file of comma-separated variables for each
displayed channel (including serial decode waveforms). If the oscilloscope acquisition
is stopped, then data records greater than 1000 points can be written. This format is
also suitable for spreadsheets.
• BIN data file — This creates a binary file with a header, and data in the form of time
and voltage pairs. This file is much smaller than the ASCII XY data file. If the
oscilloscope acquisition is stopped, then data records greater than 1000 points can be
written. (See also page
• ALB data file — This creates a file in an Agilent proprietary format which can be read
by Agilent logic analyzers. You can use Agilent's B4610A Data import tool for offline
viewing and analysis.
• Mask test data file — This creates a mask file in an Agilent proprietary format which
can be read by Agilent InfiniiVision oscilloscopes. A mask data file includes certain
setup information, but not all setup information. To save all setup information
including the mask data file, choose "Trace and Setup" format instead. (See also
"Mask Test" on page 337.)
Press [Save/Recall]&Save&Settings to change the following options. A USB mass
storage device (such as a thumb drive) must be connected to the oscilloscope.
These settings are not applicable when the format "Trace&Setup" is selected.
