CREATING AND EDITING WAVEFORMS
Create waveforms by loading waveform data from a text file or by using the graphical tools of this
Software.
Working with text files
Waveforms can be imported to or exported from a text file with the following format:
The first line contains the number of data points, the consecutive lines the Y axis value of the
sampling points.
Example wave1.txt:
8 (Line 1：length of the waveform)
-0.666 (Line 2：waveform value of point 0)
-0.555 (Line 3：waveform value of point 1)
-0.111 (Line 4：waveform value of point 2)
0.001 (Line 5：waveform value of point 3)
0.123 (Line 6：waveform value of point 4)
0.235 (Line 7：waveform value of point 5)
0.378 (Line 8：waveform value of point 6)
0.654 (Line 9：waveform value of point 7)
Only use text editors such as NOTEPAD to create or edit this file.
Saving and opening text files
To save the current waveform as a text file, Select File>Save to and enter a filename. To import
waveform data, select “Open” from the File menu. The waveform data will be automatically
displayed in the editing window.
