Save and Recal
l Information
The oscilloscope provides permanent storage for setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the internal storage of the
oscilloscope to save setup files and reference waveform data.
Use external storage, such as USB drives or network drives, to save setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the
external storage to carry data to remote computers for further analysis and for archiving.
External file structure. If you are saving information to external storage, select the appropriate menu (such as the To
File side menu to save setups and waveforms) and turn multipurpose knob a to scroll through the external file structure.
E: is the USB memory device plugged into the first (left) USB port on the front of the oscilloscope
F: is the USB memory device p lugged into the second (right) USB port on the front of the oscilloscope
G: and H: are the USB m emory devices plugged into the USB ports on the rear of the oscilloscope
I through Z are network storage locations
Use m ultipurpose knob a to scroll through the list of files. Use the S elect front panel button to open and close folders.
Naming yo
ur file.
The oscil loscope gives all files it creates a default name in the following format:
tekXXXXX.set for setup files where XXXXX is an integer from 00000 to 99999
tekXXXXX.png, tekXXXXX.bmp, or tekXXXXX.tif for image files
tekXXXXYYY.csv for spreadsheet files or tekXXXXYYY.isf for internal format fi les
For waveforms, the XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9999. The YYY is the channel of the waveform, and can be one of
the following:
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for the analog channels
D00, D01, D02, D03, and so on through D15 for the digital channels
MTH for a math waveform
RF1, RF2, RF3, or RF4 for reference memory waveforms
ALL for a single spreadsheet file containing multiple channels when you select Save All Waveforms
NOTE. Only analog channels and waveforms derived from analog channels (such as math and reference) can be saved to
an ISF file. When saving all channels in ISF format, a group of files will be saved. Each will have the same value for XXXX,
but the YYY values will be set to the different channels that were turned on when the Save All Waveforms was performed.
For exam ple, the first time you save a file, that file is named tek00000. The next time you save the same type of file,
the file will be named tek00001.
