Saving and export
Export writes the visible range of every plotted trace to a file: NumPy .npy or
.csv, chosen by the extension you type.
How to reach it
Export visible range… in the overflow menu, or Ctrl+E. A file chooser asks where;
the format follows the path's extension.
Worth knowing
• The table is collected at the moment you click, not when the chooser returns. A live view keeps
scrolling while a dialog is up, so a late collection would write a window you never saw.
• The rows are the stored samples, never the LOD buckets the plot draws from. A row count
far below the span times the stored rate means something cut the table from the pyramid.
• The stored rate is not always the wire rate. A window long enough to need decimation is stored
averaged at a lower rate, and the export carries that — read the status bar's ⓘ popover
for the figure before trusting a sample count.
• Two time columns. time is the display timeline — negative ages ending at 0 while
streaming, offsets from the trigger edge while an event is held — so it is the x you read a
value at on screen. abs_seconds is the source's own clock for the same sample, which
is what lets two exports taken in different modes line up. Both are strictly increasing and
evenly spaced; duplicate or backwards stamps would mean the file held two clocks.
• An export taken mid-capture writes the partly filled window that is on screen, which is
shorter than the event span. Export outside a capture if you want the whole event.
Example
A 2 s window at 10 kS/s over 3 traces writes 20001 rows and 5 columns
(time, abs_seconds, three signals). The .npy is
64·⌈(10+len(header)+1)/64⌉ + rows·(16 + 4·cols) bytes. Read it back with
pd.DataFrame(np.load(path)).
