JonD Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'm outputting a 1KHz Sinewave from the wavegenerator and feeding into channel 1 of the scope. I then attempt to record to file and no matter what I do it converts the sinewave to a square wave and is not even the same amplitude. What am I doing wrong? This is what its doing to the wave file which is supposed to be a sinewave at a 1 volt scale. But look at what its doing Also whenever I try to use bin it never works it totally messes up the wave form as well. Also when I try the record option in WaveForms it only saves for 1 second and stops. Isn't it supposed to record for awhile. For example below when I select the record option it runs for a second and stops. what am I doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 attila Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hi @JonD Select 32 or 64 bit float format for voltage unit. The 16 bit options saves raw unscaled sample values which need to scaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
JonD
I'm outputting a 1KHz Sinewave from the wavegenerator and feeding into channel 1 of the scope.
I then attempt to record to file and no matter what I do it converts the sinewave to a square wave and is not even the same amplitude.
What am I doing wrong?
This is what its doing to the wave file which is supposed to be a sinewave at a 1 volt scale.
But look at what its doing
Also whenever I try to use bin it never works it totally messes up the wave form as well.
Also when I try the record option in WaveForms it only saves for 1 second and stops. Isn't it supposed to record for awhile.
For example below when I select the record option it runs for a second and stops. what am I doing wrong.
