To replay history waveforms
If you want to see the complete acquisition series without any setup, simply tap "Play"
in the quick-access "History" dialog box. For specific analysis of history data, use the
hestory "Viewer" setup.
1. In the "History" configuration dialog box, select the "Viewer" tab.
2. If the history mode is off (the [HISTORY] key is not illuminated), enable "Show his-
tory".

● Tap "Select all" to see the complete history.
● Enter the "Start Index" of the oldest acquisition to display and the "Stop Index"
of the newest acquisition to display. All waveforms between the two indexes will
be displayed.
To enter the oldest or newest acquisition for either index, tap the appropriate
button. The newest acquisition always has the index "0". The "Start index" is
always negative.
4. Tap "Play" to start.

2. Select the "Save/Recall" tab.
3. Select the "Waveform" tab.
4. Tap the source icon to select the waveform you want to save.
5. If you want to save only a part of each waveform, set the "Scope".
For settings, see "Scope" on page 486.
6. Enable "Export history".
