Saving Waveforms and Setups
3–156
TDS 500C, TDS 600B, & TDS 700C User Manual
NOTE. Using this procedure to save an extended acquisition only saves the
waveform. In this case, if the trigger position is shown at 0% or 100%, the
actual position may be outside the saved waveform.
4. To store a waveform to disk, press To File (side). Then use the general
purpose knob to select the exact file from the resulting scrollbar list. Finally,
press Save To Selected File (side) to complete the operation.
NOTE. Upon power on, the oscilloscope creates the “wild card” file, marked in
the file utilities menu by the name TEK?????.WFM and by a wild-card icon
(shown left), for storing waveforms. Selecting this file in step 3 stores a
waveform in a uniquely named, sequentially numbered file. For instance, the
oscilloscope saves the first waveform you save in the file TEK00001.WFM, the
second in TEK00002.WFM, and so on.
To save an acquisition, do the following steps:
1. Select the channel that has the acquisition you want to save.
2. To store a waveform internally, press SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM ➞
Extended (pop-up) ➞ Save Acq (main).
3. Press To File (side). Then use the general purpose knob and the SELECT
button to select the hard drive (hd0:) and the exact file from the resulting
scrollbar list. Finally, press Save To Selected File (side) to complete the
operation.
NOTE. Upon power on, the oscilloscope creates the “wild card” file, marked in
the file utilities menu by the name TEK?????.WF1 and by a wild-card icon (shown
left), for storing acquisitions. Selecting this file in step 3 stores a acquisition in a
uniquely named, sequentially numbered file. For instance, the oscilloscope saves
the first acquisition you save in the file TEK00001.WF1, the second in
TEK00002.WF1, and so on.
Saving or recalling an acquisition stops acquisitions in process.
