INTERNal specifies the internal format. Internal format files usually have a .wfm
extension.
When Extended-Acquisition-Length mode is on, the convention is to use a .wf1
extension. Also, the oscilloscope will only use this internal format with this
mode.
SPREADSheet specifies the spreadsheet format. Spreadsheet format files usually
have a .CSV extension.
MATHCad specifies the MathCad format. MathCad format files usually have a
.DAT extension.
If you are writing a MathCad program, you should be aware that the
TDS-MathCad file has the following features:
HASCII format
Hfirst four values contain header information
Hfirst header value holds the TDS waveform record length
Hsecond header value holds time, in seconds, between samples
Hthird header value holds the trigger position
(expressed as an index in the data position. For extended-acquisition-length
records, the index reported can be outside the waveform because the trigger
can be outside the waveform. If before the waveform, it’s negative. If after,
it’s a large positive)
Hfourth header value refers to the fractional trigger position
Hdelimiters are carriage returns
SAVE:WAVEFORM:FILEFORMAT SPREADSHEET
specifies the waveform, when saved, will be stored in a spreadsheet-compatible
format.
