Saving files to USB with the Save File button
The Save File button is a quick, one-push way to save a specified data files to the
USB drive. After you have defined the save parameters with the Save/Recall
button and Action side-menu button, you can assign that save action to the Save
File button. For example, if you assign Save to write waveform data to a USB
drive, then each push of the Save button saves the current waveform data to the
USB drive.
NOTE. The Save button only saves files to the USB drive. You cannot assign the
Save button to save information to reference or setup memory, or to recall files
from the USB drive.
NOTE. The oscilloscope saves files to the top level of the USB drive by default.
You can use the Change folder button in the File Utility side menu to set the
oscilloscope to save files to a specific location on the USB drive. See Changing
the default file save location on the USB drive on page 141.
Files are saved to the USB drive using a specific naming convention. See About
automatically generated file names on page 146.
1. Push the Save/Recall front-panel button.
2. Push the Assign To side-menu button.
3. Push the side-menu buttons for the action that you want to assign to the Save
button (Screen Image, Waveform, or Setup). The save button is now

output format for the action you assigned to the Save button (BMP, JPG, or
PNG for screen images; .ISF or .CSV for waveforms).
NOTE. Setup files will always be saved as .SET files.
