a) In the "Reference" tab, tap the "Selected source" icon and select a source from
the selection list. The source can be any active signal, math, or other reference
waveform.
b) Tap the "Update with" button to update the current reference waveform with the
source data.
4. Tap the "Show reference waveform" icon so it is highlighted.
The reference waveform is displayed on the screen.
It has the same scaling as the origin.
To save a reference waveform
1. In the "Math" menu, select "Reference Waveform > Setup", or press the [REF] key.
Tip: You can also save a waveform as a reference waveform in the "File" dialog
box, see Chapter 12.2.7, "Saving and loading waveform data", on page 496. Here,
you can also save multiple waveforms in one file.
2. Select the tab for the reference waveform you want to store ("Ref1"-"Ref4").
3. Display and configure the reference waveform as described in "To display a refer-
ence waveform" on page 290.
4. Select the file format.
Note: Reference waveforms can be loaded only from BIN files. XML and CSV for-
mats are meant for further processing in other applications.
5. To save the waveform to the currently selected file, tap "Save". By default, the pre-
fix for reference waveform files is "RefCurve".
To save the waveform to another file, select "Save As".
Enter a file name and select the directory. The file type is already defined according
to the selection in the previous step. In order to load the reference waveform on the
instrument again later, use the file type BIN.
The source settings of the reference waveform and the current scaling settings are
stored to the specified file.
To load a reference waveform
Note: Reference waveforms can be loaded only from BIN files.
1. In the "Math" menu, select "Reference Waveform > Setup", or press the [REF] key.
2. Select the tab for the reference waveform you want to load ("Ref1" - "Ref4").
3. To load the waveform from the specified file, tap "Load".
To load the waveform from a different file, tap "Open". Select the file from the file
selection dialog box. Only BIN files are displayed in the file list.
The selected waveform is loaded as the specified reference waveform.
If multiple waveforms are saved in the file, you are asked to assign each waveform
to a reference waveform. All waveforms are loaded together.
4. If the reference waveform is not visible, tap the "Show reference waveform" icon.
