Utilities: Export VSB to Other Formats

The second tab of the Extract Export interface (Figure 1) reads extracted VSB files and exports them into various other signal or message file formats.

Follow these steps to export an extracted VSB file to another format:

1. Extract the VSB files from the SD card.
2. Verify the Output Directory is where the extracted VSB files are.
3. Select the VSB file to export in the raw data file list.
4. Pick a Signal or Message file format using the checkboxes.
5. If a Signal file format is used, select which signals to export.
6. Click the Export button to make the new file.
7. Watch the status under the Export button.

Figure 1: Use the Export area to convert extracted VSB files to other file formats.

In the raw data VSB file list area there is a convenient right click menu available where an extracted VSB file can be quickly opened for further study with Data Analysis or Review Buffer.

In the Signal Data checkbox area, the Force Rate value forces a periodic rate on all signal timestamps in the exported file. A value of -1 means the signal timestamps will be left untouched. That is, the signals in the exported file will use the timestamps from the VSB file.
