Command Syntax

:DISK:WAVeform:SAVE

Description

Saves a single-valued waveform to a file. Use the :DISK:WAVeform:FNAMe command to specify the file name and the :DISK:WAVeform:SAVE:FTYPe command to specify one of the following six waveform file types:

• Pattern format waveform (.csv) (Eye and Scope modes only)
• Internal format pattern waveform (.wfmx) (Eye and Scope modes only)
• Internal format waveform (.wfmx). If you want to return the internal format directly to the computer without FlexDCA saving a file, use the :WAVeform:XML:READ? and :WAVeform:XML:WRITe? commands.
• Y-value format waveform (.txt)
• XY-value format waveform (.txt)
• VSA format waveform recording (.txt, .csv) (Eye and Scope modes only)

Specify the source waveform that you want to save using the :DISK:WAVeform:SAVE:SOURce command. To increment the automatic file number index, use the :DISK:WAVeform:FNAMe:AUPDate command.

To load a waveform file into one of FlexDCA's eight eye memories, use the :WMEMory:FILE:LOAD and :WMEMory:FILE:NAME commands.
