converting Tek 570A curves

[reglarnavy]

I have a Tek 570A curve tracer which uses some unknown format to save
curves (curve##.c##) and setups (setup##.s##) to its floppy
disc. That works fine for recalling that info later, and redisplaying
it on the curve tracer, but I'd like to be able to take the curve files

and convert them into some format, preferably .bmp or .jpg that I can
dump into WORD documents. Does anyone know if there's some nifty
little software out there that'll do this? The 570B tracer has a .bmp
save selection switch - very nice, but this feature isn't available on
the earlier "A" model. Many thanks.

Use a digital camera and take a pic of something (say a set of

current gain curves for an NPN) as well as the curve##.c## and all
setup##.s## files to me; maybe i can do something for a converter.

Cannot find any information about the Tektronix model 570A transistor curve

tracer.

This is what I found on the 570:

This one does not have a floppy disk interface.
