Saves All to F iles
The Saves A
ll to Files option lets you save the current oscilloscope information
to files on the USB flash drive. A single Saves All to Files action uses less than
700 kB of space on the flash drive.
Before you can save data to the USB flash drive, you need to change the
front-panel Save button
to the alternative Save function. To do so, select the
Save/Recall ► Save All ► Print Button ► Saves All to Files option.
To save all the oscilloscope files to a USB fl ash drive, follow these steps:
1. Insert a USB flash d rive into the USB Flash Drive port.
2. To change the folder designated as the current folder, push the Select Folder
option button.
The oscilloscope creates a new folder within the current folder each time you
push the front panel Save button, and automatically generates the folder name.
3. Set u p the oscilloscope to capture your data.
4. Push the Save button.
The oscilloscope creates a new folder on the flash drive and saves the screen
image, waveform data, and setup data in separate files in that new folder,
using the current oscilloscope and file format settings. The oscilloscope
names the folder ALLnnnn. (See page 92, Save/Recall.)
To see a list of the files created by the Saves All To Files function, access the
Utility ►File Utilities menu.
