With the shopping cart I won in a project14 month, I ordered a handheld oscilloscope. In this post: software impressions part 2. If you have an Owon HDS200 series instrument, you can follow along. It's the same. |
How to Store?
The Save button is the one to use. Then select file with button F3.
With F1, you can then chose between image (screen capture) or wave (CSV)
Select a filename with F2. Don't forget to do that each time you save, or the instrument overrides it.
If in Wave mode, select the channel with F3. You can save 1 channel at the time
CSV
The waveform of the selected channel is stored, with the settings in the first 10 rows, and - in my case with the acquisition set to 8K -8000 data points.
The image at the top of the post shows a graph made with the data of a stored waveform.
Screen Capture
When you chose to save as image, the current screen gets saved as a .BMP file. This is an example of the same signal I stored as waveform before (not at the exact same time).
You can store 4 files of each kind. There's also options to store settings and reference waves. Check the manual for that.
Retrieving Files
When you connect the device to your PC, it will not show the data by default.
Press the System button, then F4 to go to the 2nd page.
Press F1 to switch from HID to MSC (mass storage). The oscilloscope is now a drive, and you can retrieve the stored files.
