Storing and loading traces
The 9102 provides the capability to store up to 99 traces in the 9102
and load them again at random. The stored trace can then be exam-
ined or compared to a recent measurement. In addition, stored traces
can also be transferred to a PC using the 9100 Data Exchange Soft-
ware which is being delivered with the 9102. For details on the soft-
ware refer to Chapter 15 “9100 Data Exchange Software”.
