20 Save/Email/Recall (Setups, Screens, Data)
 
3 In the Save Trace and Setup Menu, press Format; then, turn the Entry knob to 
select the type of file you want to save:
• Setup (*.scp) — The oscilloscope's horizontal timebase, vertical sensitivity, 
trigger mode, trigger level, measurements, cursors, and math function 
settings that tell the oscilloscope how to make a particular measurement. 
See “To save setup files" on page 323.
• 8-bit Bitmap image (*.bmp) — The complete screen image in a reduced color 
(8-bit) bitmap format. See “To save BMP or PNG image files" on page 324.
• 24-bit Bitmap image (*.bmp) — The complete screen image in a 24-bit color 
bitmap format. See “To save BMP or PNG image files" on page 324.
• 24-bit image (*.png) — The complete screen image in a 24-bit color PNG 
format that uses lossless compression. Files are much smaller than the BMP 
format. See “To save BMP or PNG image files" on page 324.
• CSV data (*.csv) — This creates a file of comma-separated values of all 
displayed channels and math waveforms. This format is suitable for 
spreadsheet analysis. See “To save CSV, ASCII XY, or BIN data files" on 
page 324.
• ASCII XY data (*.csv) — This creates separate files of comma-separated values 
for each displayed channel. This format is also suitable for spreadsheets. See 
“To save CSV, ASCII XY, or BIN data files" on page 324.
• Binary data (*.bin) — This creates a binary file, with a header, and data in the 
form of time and voltage pairs. This file is much smaller than the ASCII XY 
data file. See “To save CSV, ASCII XY, or BIN data files" on page 324.
• Lister data (*.csv) — This is a CSV format file containing serial decode row 
information with commas separating the columns. See “To save Lister data 
files" on page 327.
• Reference Waveform data (*.h5) — Saves waveform data in a format that can be 
recalled to one of the oscilloscope's reference waveform locations. See “To 
save reference waveform files to a USB storage device" on page 327.
• Multi Channel Waveform data (*.h5) — Saves multiple channels of waveform 
data in a format that can be opened by the N8900A Infiniium Offline 
oscilloscope analysis software. You can recall the first Analog or Math 
channel from a multi channel waveform data file.
