H Waveforms in Math Waveforms (Math1-Math4). Control settings and the
math expression are retained but not the waveform data. Upon setup recall,
however, the recalled math waveform expressions will be applied, but math
waveform data is not restored.
H User Options that are stored in the Windows Registry. These include all
options accessed by first selecting Utilities (menu bar), and then User
Preferences (Utilities menu).
You cannot recall into a channel or a math waveform. The instrument recalls
each waveform into one of the reference waveform locations (Ref1-Ref4).
If you want to save a waveform in a useful format for other applications, such as
a spreadsheet, use the export function (see Exporting and Copying Waveforms on
page 3--235).
A few things to remember when saving and recalling setups:
All Settings are Retained. The instrument includes almost all instrument settings,
with a few exceptions (such as user options) in the saved setup.
Retaining Current Settings. Recalling a setup replaces the current setup with the
recalled setup. If you do not want to lose your current setup, save it to its own
setup file for later recall before you recall a setup.
Avoiding Setup/Waveform Mismatches. Saved setups may contain settings
inappropriate for waveforms currently in your instrument. For example, if you
save a setup that displays a math waveform that is the inverse of reference 1,
when you recall the setup, if the reference is empty, the math and reference
waveforms are not displayed.
Auto-increment file name in the Save As and Export dialog boxes enables saving
numerous files without entering a file name each time. To auto-increment file
names, select Auto-increment file name on the dialog box as shown in
Figure 3--64.
