wvf vs wdf for yokagowa scope

I have some scope data that I collected recently.  I did not realize it was saving the data in WDF format, rather than the WVF that I'm familiar with.  Diadem cannot seem to open the WDF format. I tried using the WVF plugin, but diadem crashes while looking for a .hdr file. 

 

Anyone have any information about the WDF waveform format from a yokagowa oscilloscope, and how to open it with Diadem?

Re: wvf vs wdf for yokagowa scope

Hello Mr. Spark Plug,

 

You will need to follow these steps to open the Yokagowa WDF format:

 

The Yokogawa_WDF DataPlugin supports reading Yokogawa Waveform Data Files (WDF) created by DL 750, DL9000, SL1400 and SL1000 

 

Note:
This data format contains a dll name in each WDF-file. This special Yokogawa-Dll will be used to load the data.
This installer will not install the Yokogawa-DLL. This SL1000.dll needs to be copied into the DataPlugin installation folder (<Documents and Settings>\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\Shared\USI\Plugins\DataPlugins\Yokogawa_WDF). The needed DLL (SL1000.dll) can be found by google for "Yokogawa wdf.zip".

 

Please let me know if this works.

 

Regards,

Yokogawa's WDF file are not compatible in  different product series

Please use a Binary Data File Converter.

It supports current product series.
