STOP. Before doing step 2 that follows, note that if you choose a setup location
labeled user, you will overwrite the user setup previously stored there. You can store
setups in setup locations labeled factory without disturbing previously stored setups.
2. To store to a setup internally, choose one of the ten internal storage locations
from the side menu To Setup 1, To Setup 2, ... (see Figure 3–65). Now the
current setup is stored in that location.
3. To store a setup 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?????.SET and by a wild card icon as shown
on the left of this page, for storing setups. Selecting this file in step 3 stores a setup
in a uniquely named, sequentially numbered file. For instance, the oscilloscope
saves the first setup you save in the file TEK00001.SET, the second
in TEK00002.SET, and so on.
