Export Data Log

From the Instrument View, Trace Data, and Measurement view, you can export data log from the Oscilloscope application. You can export a data log even if the oscilloscope is currently acquiring measurements.

By default, export operations are stored in the "Documents" folder on your computer and are organized by instrument type.
For example – C:\Users\<user_name>\Documents\Keysight\PathWaveOscilloscope\Exports\.

You can also export an offline data log from the Offline Data Log Viewer or a loaded waveform file from the Offline Waveform File Viewer.
