Store Data ( and use PostView, optional )
Data to be used in PostView must be in ASCII (.txt) or PostView Binary (.iot) format.
From WaveView, you can select the PostView Binary format by navigating as follows:

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ System ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Options ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Data Files tab.
Save collected data to disk by clicking on the Save As button ("floppy disk" or left-most button), and then
giving the file a name. Note that you can analyze the saved data with PostView, a post-acquisition data-
viewer program.
To open PostView, return to the WaveView Configuration main window. You may select the PostView
option from the View menu, or click on the PostView button (button 10) from the toolbar. Refer to
chapter 6 for detailed PostView information.
