Saving Waveforms and Setups
The 2232 Digital Storage Oscilloscope not only provides reference memories
for saving digitized waveforms, but also allows you to retain
STORE
mode
setup configurations.
Saving and Recalling
With the 2232 oscilloscope you can "freeze" a waveform with the touch of a
Waveforms
button. You can also keep a waveform for later reference by using a
SAVE
REF
memory location. The contents of the
SAVE REF
memory locations
remain intact when the scope is turned off and can be recalled during a later
session.
Saving the Current Acquisition
One way to quickly save a waveform is to use the
SAVEICONT
button.
C]
Step
1
:
Acquire the signal in
STORE
mode.
C]
Step
2:
Press the
SAVEICONT
button. The current acquisition stops
and the waveform is "frozen" on screen. (At sweep speeds of
50
ms or
faster a triggered acquisition is allowed to complete before it is saved.)
C]
Step
3:
Copy the waveform to a
SAVE REF
memory location if you want
to retain the waveform for later reference. (Refer to the following sec-
tion.)
C]
Step
4:
Press the
SAVEICONT
button again to continue with normal
acquisition.
Saving Waveforms in SAVE REF Memory
In the
1
K acquisition mode you can save up to three waveform displays in
SAVE REF
memory. In the 4K mode, because of the greater record length,
you can save only one. Each
SAVE REF
memory location can hold either a
one- or two-channel acquisition record.
Step
1:
Acquire the signal in
STORE
mode.
C]
Step
2:
Select the desired
1
K
or
4K
acquisition mode.
C]
Step
3:
Press the
SAVE REF
button underneath the display (Figure
3-42). The current acquisition stops and a display readout appears that
indicates the status of each memory location as either full or empty.
C]
Step
4:
Press the memory location you want to save to or overwrite. If
you wait more than
5
seconds to choose the memory location, the
oscilloscope will continue with normal acquisition.
