Command Syntax

:DISK:RESults:SAVE

Query Syntax

:DISK:RESults:SAVE?

Description

Saves the current Job Results of a FlexOTO Station to a zip file. To select which results by Job ID get saved in the zip file, use the :DISK:RESults:SAVE:SELection command. To specify the name of the zip file, use the :DISK:RESults:FNAMe command.

The resulting zip file includes:

  • SystemInfo.txt. A text file that includes the following environmental information for the tests:
  • Metadata_n.txt. A text file that includes environmental information about FlexOTO's test setup. For example, the measurement path, acquisitions engines, and analysis engine.
  • Results.csv. A comma separated (*.csv) text file with the tabular measurements results that are shown in FlexOTO's displayed Job Results table. You can open this file into a spreadsheet or you could easily write a script to convert it into an html table.
  • EyeDiagram_n.xxx. An eye diagram graphics file for each saved Job ID. For example, EyeDiagram_3.jpg. You can also return the image file data to the computer using the :JOBS:RESults:SIMage query.
  • Waveform_n.wfmx. A FlexDCA internal waveform file (.wfmx) for each saved Job ID. For example, Waveform_2.wfmx. These file can be imported and displayed in FlexDCA's Eye Mode.

Saved Internal Waveform (.wfmx) Files

The internal-format waveform files XML file (.wfmx) are comprised of an ASCII XML header followed by binary waveform data. The file includes vertical and horizontal scaling parameters of the waveform. Therefore, when you load the waveform into one of FlexDCA's waveform memories, you can still perform automatic measurements and use markers on that waveform. The internal format is binary, so you can not directly display the file contents in a word processing or spreadsheet program. However, you can convert an internal format file to a text file (.txt) for use in a spreadsheet or word processing program, by loading the file into FlexDCA's waveform memory and then re-saving the waveform in either Y-values format or XY-values format.

The first few lines of the file's looks similar to this listing and are following with binary data:
