Exporting Arbitrary Waveforms to Other
Applications
You can export waveforms created in HP BenchLink/Arb to other
applications. There are two ways to do this: using the clipboard or by
exporting the waveform data.
To Export a Waveform Using the Clipboard
1 Use Edit | Select All to highlight the waveform in the waveform edit
window and copy it to the Clipboard with Edit | Copy Image.
2 Switch to the destination application and use Insert | Paste or
Shift+Insert to put the clipboard contents into the application.
The Clipboard contents are inserted in a Windows .BMP format.
To Export Waveform Data
1 Select the waveform edit window and choose File | Save As ... or click
the Save icon.
2 Select the desired export file format by clicking on the
SAVE FILE AS TYPE drop-down list and choosing either
.CSV , .PRN, or .BIN.
3 Enter the desired file and click the OK button.
.CSV files are point/ amplitude pairs separated by a comma. This is a
popular format for spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel.
.PRN files are point/ amplitude pairs separated by a tab character. This
format is used by some spreadsheets and programs like Mathcad.
.BIN files are IEEE-488.2 binary block format.
