How to Export Serial Protocol Results to a Raw Binary File
The async serial analyzer in the Saleae software only supports one export option. That export mode creates a text file with comma-separated values that are intended to be easy to open with Excel.
If you would prefer to export a binary file whose contents are strictly the values decoded from the serial protocol analyzer, without timestamps or other metadata, that can be accomplished by using a utility to convert from the csv export format to a binary file.
- 1.Change the display radix to hexadecimal. Instructions in the link below this list.
- 2.Export the serial analyzer results using the option on the serial analyzer's settings menu. Instructions in the link below this list.
- 3.Note: Currently, the release only contains the Windows runtime. Please write in if you need Linux or Mac support.
- 4.Run SaleaeUtility.cmd from the command line with two arguments: the input csv file and the output binary file.SaleaeUtility.cmd \path\to\input\file.csv \path\to\output\file.bin
- 5.Done!
