DADiSP / ReadKSBin 1.1

Keysight BIN File

The Keysight BIN file is a compact binary format used to efficiently store multi-channel waveform data from Keysight instruments such as oscilloscopes and signal generators.

A .bin file consists of a single file header followed by multiple waveform headers for each channel. The waveform headers include important metadata such as the series sample rate, engineering units and date/time. Each waveform header is followed by a buffer header that describes the binary representation of the actual data samples.

DADiSP/ReadKSBin reads and processes the various headers to automatically produce scaled engineering data with proper sample rates and units.

ReadKSBin Formats

Multiple waveform types are recognized including normal, peak detection, average, counts and logic data. BIN file versions 1, 3 and 10 are supported.

Simple User Interface

DADiSP/ReadKSBin runs from the DADiSP worksheet and is accessed by a press of a button. The ReadKSBin user interface displays important file information and transfers appropriately scaled engineering values. The data is converted directly and efficiently, with no need to rely on intermediate TXT or CSV formats.

Full Analysis System

DADiSP provides a complete analysis, display, and processing environment using ReadKSBin data. The integration of DADiSP/ReadKSBin into DADiSP makes it easy to automate data import and analysis applications completely through SPL (Series Processing Language), macros, and command files.

See Keysight for more information on Keysight hardware and software products.

Requirements

DADiSP/ReadKSBin requires DADiSP 6.7 B02 or higher. Contact us for information about updating your current version of DADiSP.
