Saving Waveforms
Arbitrary waveforms can be saved from HP BenchLink/Arb with .ARB,
.CSV, .PRN, or .BIN file extensions. The .ARB file format is a binary
format used by HP BenchLink/Arb. The .CSV file format contains
point/amplitude pairs separated by a comma. The .PRN file format
contains point/amplitude pairs separated by a tab. The .BIN format is
IEEE-488.2 binary block format. Files saved in the point/amplitude pair
formats can be opened in other applications for plotting or further
manipulation. To save an untitled arbitrary waveform:
1 Select File | Save as... from the Menu Bar or click on the file Save icon.
The Save As dialog box will appear.
2 Select the desired file format type by clicking on the SAVE FILE AS TYPE
drop-down list and click on your choice of .ARB, .CSV, .PRN, or .BIN.
3 Enter the desired filename and click the OK button to save the file to disk.
If you attempt to exit HP BenchLink/ Arb without saving the new or
modified waveform edit window, you will be prompted to do so before
exiting the application.
