Save Format of Displayed Data
Data files are saved in two formats: one for waveform display and one for the cursor 
value dialog box. Data saved in different formats can be displayed in the same Trend 
display screen.
The format in which one data is saved per unit of time is called Normal format, and the 
format in which two data—a minimum and maximum value—are saved per unit of time is 
called MinMax format.
The following shows the correspondence between data types and save formats.
Data Type Normal Format MinMax Format
DX100 Yes Yes
MV100/MV200 Yes Yes
CX1000/CX2000 Yes Yes
FX100 Yes Yes
MX100 Yes No
DAQLOGGER Yes No
AddMulti Yes No
AddTrigger Yes No
Note
Instruments that can save in MinMax format such as the DX100/200, MV100/200, 
CX1000/2000, and FX100 save data in two formats called Event data and Display data format.  
Event data is saved in Normal format, and Display data is saved in MinMax format. For details, 
see the user’s manual for your particular instrument.
