4.6.7 ASCII Export of Waveforms
Click in the display header (not in main menu tool bar) to save the displayed data as a tab-
delimited ASCII file (text without formatting). The format is tab-delimited ASCII, so that the file
can easily be loaded into other applications. ASCII export is possible for all plot types.
You can open these files with an editor or with your custom analyzing software, for example Excel
or Origin.
Exporting data is only possible when you have stopped the data acquisition or the Replayer.
The Save button will then reappear on the toolbar.
You export all displayed data. A file is created for each channel separately. If you have zoomed
to a single channel, only the visible channel is exported. The header of the ASCII table shows the
channel numbers, the data type and the measuring units. The file name is automatically extended
by the data stream name and the channel number. For example, if you export displayed data of
channel 12 of the Filtered Data 1 stream and enter MyData as a file name, the file name would
be MyData_filt0001_12.
Data stream identifiers:
elec Electrode Raw Data
angl Analog Raw Data
