Saving data
Saving screen images to a file
Use this procedure to save a screen image to a file on a USB drive. A screen
image is a ‘picture’ of the oscilloscope screen. Screen images are useful to
include in reports or to compare with other screen images over time.
NOTE. A screen image is different than waveform data. A screen image is a
picture of the screen, and does not contain any data about the signals shown in
the image. Waveform data is a file that contains the numeric values of all the
sampled points in a single channel waveform. You cannot use a screen image file
for further analysis, whereas you can load the data from a waveform file into
other oscilloscopes, or into PC-based analysis programs to perform advanced
signal measurements.
1. Install a USB drive.
2. Set up the display to show the waveforms and other readouts that you want to
save.
3. Push the Save Recall front-panel button.
4. Push the Action side-menu button.
5. Use the Multipurpose knob to select and click Save Image.
