CSA7000 Series, TDS7000 Series, & TDS6000 Series Instruments User Manual 3- 263
HMathCad creates files (.DAT) in a format usable by MathCad.
Note that the MathCad file is an ASCII file, the first four values of which
contain header information:
HThe first header value holds the record length.
HThe second header value holds time, in seconds, between samples.
HThe third header value holds the trigger position
(expressed as an index in the data position).
HThe fourth header value refers to the fractional trigger position.
Also note that the delimiters are carriage returns.
Use the procedure that follows to export a waveform or waveforms to the
instrument hard disk, a floppy disk, or third party storage device.
Overview To save a waveform Control elements and resources
Prerequisites 1. The instrument must be powered up.
2. Make sure the waveform, image, or measurement to be
exported exists; that is, your source must be a channel,
an active math waveform, an active reference, and so
forth. HSee Powering On the Instrument on page 1--9.
HSee page 3--34 for acquisition setup.
HSee page 3--71 for trigger setup.

contents
HGraticule to export a bitmap of only the graticule
area
HWaveform to export waveform data
HMeasurements to export measurement data
