Import .csv

Post by ruckb »

Hello,

I was testing the demo version just to get some experience. There is no import function for .csv files.
Is this just removed in DEMO mode or not available at all ?

Hi ruckb,

There is no import function in any of our software (apart from importing csv files as custom waveforms for our SigGen/AWG), deliberately, to restrict the software use to our hardware.

Hi to all, I hope to post in right place, if not I apoligize.
I'm trying to understand how csv works to create a custom wave for AWG.

I exported CSV signal but I found:

Code: Select all

-0.03279326
-0.01845274
-0.01172245
-0.01172245
-0.01172245
-0.00873713
-0.00024087
0.00087197
0.01124070
I'm confused: I can see only values, why not timestamp? How can I set sampling time?
How can I know if samples above are sampled at 1000 SPS or 500 or 2000?
Then, it's reported (https://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/2 ... ifications) 2204 and 2205 can have at most 4kS (so I suppose 4000 samples (or 4*1024=4096 samples)?
So in my CSV files there could be at most 4000 values, right?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi El Berto,

There is no Timestamp needed in a CSV file exported from the AWG, because the time will depend upon the frequency that you set for the Signal Generator (so the whole AWG waveform could be generated in 10 seconds or 1 microsecond or any other period of the frequency that you select). The values will be transferred to the Digital to Analog Converter, so they are not sampled (in order to be displayed) they are used to reconstruct a signal from the Signal Generator.

4kSamples would be 4096 Samples.
