Description

Turns on or off the inclusion of header information in the saved file.

Header information is available for the following data formats as selected with the :DISK:WAVeform:SAVE:FTYPe command:

  • Waveform Files, Y values (WYValues)
  • Waveform Files, XY values (WXYValues)

Waveform files saved without header information cannot be loaded back into waveform memories.

Waveform files saved without header information no longer have the UTF-8 BOM (Byte Order Mark) so they can be loaded into MATLAB using its load() function.
