Note

The data range to be converted with each XXX conversion dialog box is automatically set to the range
specified by cursor A and cursor B. (When the data range is not set with the cursor or when the cursor is
turned off (deleted), the data number for the start point is automatically set to 0 and the data number for the
end point is automatically set to the last number represented by -1.)

2-1

2.1 Converting the Data Format

• ASCII conversion dialog box

• Lotus conversion dialog box

• Excel conversion dialog box

Note

• The destination filename automatically takes on the file name of the displayed waveform plus the
extension to distinguish the different data formats. Extensions are “.prn” for ASCII format, “.wj2”
(Version 2.0 or later) for Lotus format, and “.xls” (Version 4.0 or later) for Excel formats.

• For Lotus 1-2-3 and Excel, there is a limit on the number of data points that can be handled. This
software does not limit the number of data points that can be converted. Therefore, make sure to set the
number of data points equal to or less than the maximum data number allowed by these software. Also,
when the available memory is low, there are cases when the data can not be read even when the number
of data points is less than the limit.

Note

• When converting an event file containing power failure information data, the waveform data does not get
converted with correct time information. (The time of the measurement before the power failure is
shifted by the amount of time of the power failure duration.)
When converting a display data file containing power failure information, it is converted with correct
time information.

• In the case of event files, the measurement data during the power failure is converted to a value larger
than the range. In the case of display data files, blanks are inserted for the duration of the power failure.
