Sets the oscilloscope to save data from analog, digital, or RF channels (and math and
reference
waveforms derived, where possible, from those channels), in Instrument Specific
Format (.isf) format. This format is the fastest to write. It also creates the smallest-sized file.
Use this format if you intend to recall an analog waveform or RF trace to reference m emory
for viewi
