How do I read an LSF file?

[BanksySan]

I've got an LSF file generated from a GW Instek oscilloscope (attached).

How do I read this file?  Are there existing applications that read it, or a spec for me to write something to read it?

Thanks

Hi BanksySan,

there is a nice module in MATLAB for those files called lsfreader(datafile).
Here you can find more info:

Best,

Cheers.

I don't speak MatLab unfortunately, but I'm sure with a bit of Google I can unpick the syntax.  If nothing else, it did confirm that this is a propriety format from GW.  Looks like an undocumented one at that.  Sigh

The comment at the top of the script has a link to a repo with tools for working with GW DSOs.

Looks potentially like the right thing (even if not, I can figure out what Python is doing faster than learning MAtLab).

Export in LSF and in "Detail CSV" format with 1Kpt taken using the scope calibrator.   Convert the LSF to hex, decimal and character format with the Unix utility, od(1). Write a C program to read the things you can identify and go from there.  The MATLAB code will give some clues, but IIRC it was a it obtuse.

I have a couple of GDS-2000E series scopes.  Writing a file convertor was on my to do list, but I've decided to just work on writing FOSS FW for them.  I just need a few days without interruption to get started learning  Zynq FPGA programming.
