Symbol file format
NOTE. Symbol tables are only available when a parallel bus is selected.
The instrument requires a specific format to be compatible with the instrument reader. The instrument uses
a format called TSF, which is the TLA Symbol Format used with Tektronix logic analyzers.
The file extension is .tsf. You can use any text editor to create the file.
The file contains a TSF header line and lines to define the symbol names and values. White space (blank
spaces or tabs) separates fields on a line. The first few lines of a file are typically comment lines to
describe the file.
