To load labels from a text file into the oscilloscope:
1 Use a text editor to create each label. Each label can be up to ten characters in length.
Separate each label with a line feed.
2 Name the file labellist.txt and save it on a USB mass storage device such as a thumb
drive.
3 Load the list into the oscilloscope using the File Explorer (press [Utility]& File
Explorer).
To reset the label library to the factory default
1 Press [Utility]&Options&Preferences&More.
2 Press the Default Library softkey.
Label List Management
When you press the Library softkey, you will see a list of the last 75 labels used. The list does not
save duplicate labels. Labels can end in any number of trailing digits. As long as the base string is
the same as an existing label in the library, the new label will not be put in the library. For example,
if label A0 is in the library and you make a new label called A12345, the new label is not added to
the library.
When you save a new user-defined label, the new label will replace the oldest label in the list.
Oldest is defined as the longest time since the label was last assigned to a channel. Any time you
assign any label to a channel, that label will move to the newest in the list. Thus, after you use the
label list for a while, your labels will predominate, making it easier to customize the instrument
display for your needs.
When you reset the label library list (see next topic), all of your custom labels will be deleted, and
the label list will be returned to its factory configuration.
Pressing the Default Library softkey will remove all user-defined labels from the
library and set the labels back to the factory default. Once deleted, these
user-defined labels cannot be recovered.
