Type  Allows you to select the type of data you want to save.
Setup  Displays all previously saved setup 
files and detects the current setup 
parameters in preparation to save them 
in a file for retrieval at a future date. 
Setup files include all instrument 
settings including traces, states, limits, 
and corrections.
NOTE When viewing a floppy disc with saved Setup files (filename.set) on a 
personal computer, notice there are also many similarly named files 
with extensions like .s01, .s02, etc. Do not delete these files as they are 
necessary to allow complete restoration of originally saved Setup.

and detects the current state 
parameters in preparation to save them 
in a file for retrieval at a future date. 
State files include all instrument

Trace
   Displays all previously saved trace files 
(.TRC) and detects the current trace in 
preparation to save it in a file for 
retrieval at a future date. A trace can 
be saved individually or as a group of 
traces. It can also be saved in .CSV 
(comma separated values) format (for 
importing into spreadsheets) or in .TRC 
format, accompanied by the analyzer 
state (for later recalling into the 
analyzer). (Note that CSV formatted 
data cannot be reloaded into the 
analyzer and TRC formatted data 
cannot be loaded into most personal 
computer programs.) Refer to the 
Format key description.
