Hello everyone,
I am using the oscilloscope DSO-X 3054A.
I connect from my laptop to it using Command Expert (ComEx).
Using ComEx I am able to send commands and I am able to run a sequence.
What I am trying to do is save the waveforms I see on the scope as ASCIIxy data. I can save a single file, using ComEx. The file is saved on a USB pen which is inserted in the availabel slot in the oscilloscope.
However, I want to save _several_ files. The problem is that I cannot find a way to automatically change the name of the file (something like scope1, scope2, scope3 etc...would be fine) using a variable to increment.
On the other hand, if I press the "Save" button directly on the oscilloscope this happens automatically.
NB: I am aware of the Increment option which is present on the scope. This option is indeed ON, and it works manually but not with remote control.
Is there a way to solve this directly from ComEx, or do I really have to resort to write a C program to do it?
(BTW: if somewhere there is such a program already written I would be happy to know where to find it!)
thanks for the help,
Francesco
