TEK curve tracer 370A files-correction

I'm reposting this because of incorrect model #. It's a TEK 370A (not
570A) - Sorry for confusion. Thanks Keyser Soze (love that movie), for
catching this. Still have the same issue though - unusual format. Rob
B., will capture image & files for you.

Corrected Original Posting -

I have a Tek 370A 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 370B 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.

So, instead of keeping all the data in one place,
you decided to split it into 2 threads?

Lousy plan.

Something like: {Altered Subject line}
CORRECTION: (was converting Tek 570A curves)
would have been more apt.
 
Yah - in hindsight I think you're right ... but I haven't had this
happen before so wasn't sure how to handle it. I did paste all the
previous info into the new posting though, so it's all been
consolidated.

Keyser -
BIG HELP! 1.1059.552.00 displays the waveform w/setup data. Capture
w/ PrtScrn and paste & crop and I'm all set. Thank you.
