<file path>

SAVe :
WAVEform
<Space>
REF
<x>
,
<wfm> is CH<x>, MATH<x>, or REF<x>, and is the waveform that will be
saved.
REF<x> is the location where the waveform will be stored.
<file path> (on instruments with the Option 1F File System) is a quoted string
that defines the file name and path. Input the file path using the form
<drive>/<dir>/<filename>. <drive> and one or more <dir>s are optional. If
you do not specify them, the digitizing oscilloscope will write the file to the
default directory. <filename> stands for a filename of up to 8 characters
followed by a period (“.”) and the proper 3-character extension. Internal format
waveforms use the “WFM” extension. The TDS 4XXA and TDS 7XXA can also
use a “CSV” extension for spreadsheet format files or a “DAT” extension for
MathCad format files. The digitizing oscilloscope will generate an error if you
use any other extension for saving a waveform.
SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH2,REF1
saves the math 2 waveform in reference memory location 2.
SAVE:WAVEFORM MATH1,TEK00000.WFM
saves the math1 waveform to the file TEK00000.WFM in the default directory and
on the default drive.
SAVe:WAVEform:FILEFormat
TDS 4XXA & 7XXA Only
Specifies the file format for saved waveforms.
