Once you are done editing the waveform you can use the File menu Save command to Save you work to one of the supported WaveEasy file formats. The following file formats are supported by WaveEasy:
WaveEasy file format (*.WaveEasy) – this is the default file format. In this format all the information you entered when you created the waveform is preserved including segment and segment item names and properties, and the data points or mathematical formulas used to create the waveform. WaveEasy file format is supported by the GtWave driver and can be used to load the waveform to the board. When you save a file in this format, you can later reopen the file and modify the segments and segment items as when you initially created them. This file format also requires less disk space since segments that have mathematical formulas are saved as a formula instead of an expanded data point array. When you load the file using the GtWave driver to the board it will expand the mathematical formulas and the line or free hand drawing formulas to create the required waveform points.
NI-HWS File format (*.hws) – This is the file format used by National Instruments waveform editor and boards. Use this file format if you intend to load the waveform to a NI board. This file format is binary and contains the waveform points. Segments and formulas are not maintained in this file format.
Comma Delimited File format (*.csv) – ASCII (text) file format contains all of points values separated by commas.
Text File format (*.txt) – ASCII (text) file format that contains all the points value separated by commas.
PRN (Space Delimited) File format (*.prn) – ASCII (text) File format that contains all the points value separated by spaces.
WaveEasy can open and save all the supported file formats. However, to maintain the formulas and segments as entered and to allow re-editing of these files, it is recommended that you save your work in the WaveEasy file format and use the Save As… command to retain your original file when you intend to use other file formats.
