:SAVE:WAVeform[:STARt]
(see page 798)
Command Syntax
:SAVE:WAVeform[:STARt] [<file_name>]
<file_name> ::= quoted ASCII string
The :SAVE:WAVeform[:STARt] command saves oscilloscope waveform data
to a file.
See Also • "Introduction to :SAVE Commands" on page 416
• ":SAVE:WAVeform:FORMat" on page 429
• ":SAVE:WAVeform:LENGth" on page 430
• ":SAVE:FILename" on page 417
• ":RECall:SETup[:STARt]" on page 414
NOTE
If a file extension is provided as part of a specified <file_name>, and it does not match the
extension expected by the format specified in :SAVE:WAVeform:FORMat, the format will be
changed if the extension is a valid waveform file extension.
