Saving and Recalling Data
Here are a few points about saving oscilloscope data:
• You can save a waveform trace and recall it later. The recalled trace
appears in cyan (blue).
• You can save oscilloscope setup parameters and recall them later. The
setup file stores settings such as horizontal timebase, vertical
sensitivity, trigger mode, trigger level, measurements, cursors, and math
functions. This lets you easily and consistently set up the oscilloscope
to make a particular measurement.
• There is a distinction between print and save: print always refers to
printing the display to a printer. Save means saving data to a USB mass
storage device or the oscilloscope’s internal memory.
The following table shows types of data and where the data can be saved.

Selecting a Destination for Your Saved Data
Press [Save/Recall] > Save to access the Save Menu and select a destination
for saving your data.
Type of Data Can be saved to:
USB device Oscilloscope’s
internal memory
Oscilloscope setup and waveform trace Yes Yes*
Display image and waveform data files
(BMP, PNG, CSV, ASCII XY, ALB, BIN)
Yes No
*If Secure Environment Mode option is installed then data is prevented from being
stored in the oscilloscope’s internal memory.
You can also save the oscilloscope’s display image using a web browser. See “Get
Image” on page 250 for details.
