Storage locations
You can store data directly on the instrument, or to a USB flash drive. For local stor-
age, the path is always /home/storage/userData. The path has subdirectories to
organize the data. For storage on USB flash drive, the default path
is /run/media/usb/. On both storage media, you can create directories to organize
the data. You can also copy, paste and delete data.
On USB flash drives, the following file systems are supported: FAT32, exFAT and
NTFS.
The operating system of the oscilloscope differentiates between relative and absolute
paths.
A relative path starts with your current directory and does not start with a /, e.g.
userData.
An absolute path defines the location from the root directory, e.g. /home/storage/
userData.
12.1 Save and recall user settings
To repeat measurements at different times or perform similar measurements with differ-
ent test data, you can save the used instrument settings and load them again later.
Furthermore, you can refer to the instrument settings of a particular measurement
when analyzing the results. Optionally, the current toolbar and dialog configuration can
be included into the saveset.
Access: "Menu" key > "Save/Recall" key > "Save" tab > "User settings".
If you often save and load instrument settings, try the following shortcuts:
●
The "Save setup" toolbar icon saves the current settings to a file according to the
settings in "Save/Recall" key > "Save".
●
The "Recall" toolbar icon opens the dialog to select and load a setup.
●
You can assign a saveset to the [Preset] key and the "Preset" function on the tool-
bar, see Chapter 5.6, "Preset setup", on page 94.
