7.6.4 Text file
Waveform data created using the “ARB” can be also saved in a text file so that other applications can
easily handle it.
Selecting [File] - [Save As(TXT)] ( Alt , F , T or Ctrl + T ) displays the screen titled [Save
As].
Saving location
Input file name
Select a saving location, input a file name and click the Save button. The file extension is “.txt” and
can be omitted during file name input.
In the text file, 16-bit (0 to +65535) data is saved as a numeric string. One row contains one
numerical string data unit. The number of rows is the same as the memory size set on the system
setting screen.
This file can be read as is using a text editor, spreadsheet software or other application.
Otherwise, the ARB can read the text file created using the text editor, spreadsheet software, or other
application. When creating a text file, put one data unit, which must be a 16-bit signed integer
(
32768 to +32767), on one row.
The number of data units in a data file should be 65536 or smaller. If the number of data units in a
data file is larger than the system setting, [Memory Size] in this range, excess data is skipped.
If the number of data units is smaller than the system setting, they are read into the beginning of the
waveform and the rest remains the same.
