psdata to csv

Post by jamesmentele »

Hi, I am Jim Mentele and use the 4423 and 4223 with SenX FirstLook(R) sensors.

I have a number of *.psdata files that I would like to convert to .csv for Excel and other time-series analysis tools. The PS4000sdk enables direct connection from the PicoScopes to Excel, but I don't see a way to 'GET DATA' from a saved .psdata format.
Can anyone help me? (I am obviously a novice in this space.)

You can right click on a psdata file in explorer and then use the convert option you find there, or you can load the file back into Picoscope and then save it as a CSV format file from the File->Save menu.

Can this be done by a program using the command line approach?

Yes you can use picoscope from the command prompt window

Code: Select all

Picoscope /c *.psdata /f csv /b all
would convert all buffers in a psdata file to csv

Code: Select all

picoscope /?
will give all command line options

I need to convert 2000 .psdata files into .csv files and I'd like to do this automatically and when I write above command to command line I see window with information: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Debug or Close program." Can somebody help me?
