converting .txt to .psd

Hi all,

I am using PicoScope 3424. I am collecting the samples and wrting them in voltage (in Volt) format into a text file with timestamp for each of the samples, something like this.

Time Info ChannelA ChannelB ChannelC ChannelD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.0000000 4.14 0.01 1.45 3.22
0.0002000 4.13 0.00 1.43 3.22
0.0004000 4.14 0.00 1.43 3.21

(and so on)

Is there any way( any API or tool) to convert this text file to PicoScope data file format (.PSD)
I have attached a sample log file in which I am putting the samples with time stamp vlues.
Thanks & Regards,
Bikash

Hi Bikash

I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this. Can't you just save your waveforms as .psd in the first place?

Hi Robin,
Thanks for replying. I have written a C++ program using the ps3000 driver APIs that reads data from the Oscilloscope channels and creates the log file as mentioned above.

Is there any way to create a .psd file as as log file instead of .txt file through ps3000 driver APIs?

Thanks & Regards,
Bikash

Hi Bikash

I'm afraid not. The only way to get data in to the PicoScope software is to collect it using PicoScope software.

Hi Robin,
Is there any way to know how to create a .psd file?

I mean to say, there must be some header for the .psd file. Is there any way to know this?

All the information I can give you is in section 7.4 of http://www.picotech.com/document/pdf/psw044.pdf.
