H Extend the waveform carrying capacity of the instrument. The instrument
supports four reference, four channel, and four math waveforms. If you want
more than four references, you can save the additional reference to disk for
recall later.
The Reference Waveform control window contains a Label field for including
comments with your saved waveforms. Using comments you can store informa-
tion, readable upon recall, describing each waveform that you save.
Virtual Keyboarding. If you do not have a keyboard connected, you can still
enter comments and name waveform files. The Reference control window
includes a Keyboard button. When you touch or click it, the instrument displays
a virtual keyboard on screen that you can use with your mouse or the touch
screen to enter the waveform-path name, file name, and comment.
You cannot recall a waveform into a channel or a math waveform. The instru-
ment recalls each waveform into one of the reference waveform locations
(Ref1-Ref4).
Use the procedure that follows to save a waveform or waveforms to a reference
location, the instrument hard disk, CD-RW disk, a floppy disk, or third party
storage device.
Overview To save a waveform Control elements and resources
Prerequisites 1. The inst rum ent must be powered up.
2. Make sure the waveform to be saved exists; that is, your
source must be a channel, an active math waveform, or
an active reference. Display the waveform with the
setup in which you want to save it.
For help in setup and acquiring waveforms, check the
references at right.
H See Powering On the Instrument on page 1--9.
H See page 3--29 for acquisition setup.
H See page 3--63 for trigger setup.

3. From the toolbar, touch Refs and select the Ref 1 to Ref
4 tab of the reference in which you want to save the
waveform.

4. Select the Ch, Math, or Ref tab of the waveform that
you want to save, and then touch the number of the
channel, math, or reference waveform that you want to
save.
