DS-2000 Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-0671
Can the "***.rcd" file saved with the DS-0221 recording function be played with the standard media player on Windows?
Files saved as "***.rcd" with DS-0221 cannot be played directly with the standard Windows media player. They need to be converted to WAV format for playback.
To perform the conversion, the XN-8000 series measurement processing software "Repolyzer" is required, along with the XN-8100 measurement platform and the XN-0850 data editing software. Using the XN-8100 series, load the "***.rcd" file saved with DS-0221 and convert it to a WAV file for saving.
