Saving and Recalling Waveforms
Saving Waveforms
Quick Save to Internal Memory
Use this method to quickly store a channel trace in an internal memory location and to display it:
1. Touch the trace descriptor label
to open the setup dialog for the trace
you want to store.
2. Touch the Store button
at the bottom of the screen. The stored memory
trace will be displayed in the same grid as the original waveform.
The Channel 1 trace is stored in M1, Channel 2 in M2, etc. If there is another trace (such
as a math trace) already stored in a targeted location, it will be overwritten.
General Save to Memory
1. In the menu bar, touch File; then touch Save Waveform... in the drop-down menu.
2. In the "Save Waveform" dialog, touch the Save To
or button.
3. Touch inside the Source field and select a source from the pop-up menu. The source
can be any trace; for example, a channel (C1 to C4), the math function, or a
waveform stored in non-volatile RAM (M1 to M4).
4. Touch inside the Trace Title data entry field if you want to change the default name
of your waveforms. Use the pop-up keyboard to type in the new name.
Note: You can change the name but not the sequence number.
CAUTION
If you use a name that ends in a number instead of a letter, the instrument may truncate
the number. This is because, by design, the first waveform is automatically numbered 0,
the second 1, etc. For example, if you want to use waveform name "XYZ32" but it is not
preceded by waveforms XYZ0 through XYZ31, the waveform will be renumbered with the
next available number in the sequence.
