DFDATA63
Converts the data portion of a binary capture/throughput file (containing digital filter time data) from the
HP 3563A (or HP 3562A) to a PC-MATLAB MAT-file, a MATRIXx file, or an ASCII file. Since
capture/throughput data can be very long, the /B and /P options can be used to select only a portion of the
data in a file. The /C option only needs to be specified for a 2 channel throughput file to select channel 2
as the source of data. HP 3563A/62A capture files on a LIF file system start with the letters ‘’CS’’;
throughput files start with the letters ‘’TS.’’
Syntax DFDATA63 <sfile> <dfile> [/U] [/O] [/L] [/M] [/R] [/X] [/B:<ofst>] [/P:<len>] [/C:<chan>]
Options
<sfile> Input HP 3563A/62A capture or throughput file name.
<dfile> Output file name.
/U Show help (usage information) for this program.
/O Overwrites <dfile> if it exists.
/L Create MATLAB file (a binary file).
/M Create MATRIXx file (an ASCII file).
/R Output MATLAB or MATRIXx file matrices in a row instead of a column.
/X Output X-axis data.
/B:<ofst> Offset from beginning of data (in points) to convert (default 0).
/P:<len> Length of data (in points) to convert (default 20480 points); MATLAB and
MATRIXx files can contain up to 32767 points.
/C:<chan> Channel of data to convert (default channel 1 if there are 2 channels of data).
If neither /L nor /M option is specified, then an ASCII file is created.
