Importing JSON Data
You may import data contained in JSON files to the KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software. JSON files provide an added advantage over CSV files, because they can include information pertaining to one or more datasets, which can contain large volumes of measurement data.
You may programmatically create JSON files to include complex measurement data such as Real-Time Eye Diagrams and Constellation Plots as well.
Following image shows a snippet of a scalar JSON file structure with a standard input-output schema.
