Hi All, I saved a .csv file from a tektronix DPO3034 scope. I want to convert it to the .isf format that can be loaded back to the scope.

Hi erezg,

this is a very generic question and so you get a generic answer:

Read the scope manual to know the structure of that "ISF" format. Then create it from your CSV data file…

To be more specific:

- What have you tried so far?

- What does the manual say about this topic?

- Does Tektronix provide any tools for this?

Hi GerdW,

Tried to recall the waveform in the CSV format - did not work

look in the tektronix webpage  and google it - still nothing

then I tried to open the isf file (binary) but seems useless.

What are you googling for? I tried "tektronix isf file" and found this as the 2nd link result…

Again: We don't know what you have tried so far. Attach your VI and your CSV file. Also tell us what kind of waveform you expect to see…

saw that. did not help

I'm attaching the CSV file (look like a decaying signal). I want to load it back to the scope.

Why didn't it help? It explains (nearly) all the details of that format and it's all you need…

That should give you a starting point:

You can adapt all the parameters in the ISF header to your needs. (Atleast you need to change the # of points in the header according to your waveform. I also didn't care about Y scaling very much…)

thanks!!!!!!

ill give it a shot

looks promising...:
