You can use the standard Windows clipboard to export data from PicoScope to other applications.

If you want to export PicoScope data to a word processor, you will probably require the data to be in graphical format so it appears in your document as a picture. For spreadsheet export, you should use text format so that you can later manipulate the data.

You can use dynamic data exchange to continuously update the data in another application. The easiest way to do this is to select Paste link from the Edit menu of the target application.

When you use the clipboard to copy text data, it copies only the data that is displayed. This will be affected by the X multiplier and by the maximum number of points that can be displayed. If you wish to transfer all readings to another application, use the
Save As option in the File menu and save the contents of the active window as a text file.

You can also use the
Save As option in the File menu to save the contents of the active window in graphical format as a WMF, JPG or BMP file.

For details of file formats, see File and clipboard formats.
