Saving Waveforms and Setups
TDS 500B, TDS 600B, & TDS 700A User Manual

To use autosave, press SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM ➞ Autosave (main) ➞
Autosave Single Seq ON (side).
Also turn on Single Acquisition Sequence in the Acquire menu. (See Stop After
on page 3–26.)
To disable this feature, simply press Autosave (main) ➞ Autosave Single Seq
OFF (side).
If you enable both autosave and single sequence, the oscilloscope will save all
live channels to reference waveforms at the completion of each single sequence
event. All previous reference waveform data will be erased.
To rearm the oscilloscope for taking a new autosave single acquisition sequence,
press RUN/STOP.
To avoid loss of reference waveforms, you can save them to floppy disk (use the
SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM menu), before rearming the oscilloscope.
Consider the following operating characteristics when using autosave.
Autosave saves all “live” waveforms; that is, waveforms displayed in CH 1 –
CH 4. To be saved, the live waveforms must be displayed on screen.
Autosave saves each live waveform into the reference memory that
corresponds to the channel (CH 1 to Ref1, CH 2 to Ref2, and so on).
Autosave, when executing, erases all four reference memories. To avoid loss
of important waveforms, you may want to save them to a floppy disk file
before enabling a single acquisition sequence.
Autosave is not available in InstaVu mode (TDS 500B and TDS 700A
models only); see Incompatible Modes on page 3–47.
To run file utilities, see the Managing the File System on page 3–121.
Managing the File System
The TDS Oscilloscope provides file utilities and a floppy disk drive for saving
hardcopies, setups, and waveforms. This section describes how to manage
(delete, rename, etc.) these files using the file system. Read the sections listed
under To Find More Information on page 3–125 for information on saving
hardcopies, setups, and waveforms.
NOTE. TDS 500B, TDS 620B, and TDS 680B oscilloscopes do not come with a
disk drive unless you order Option 1F. See Options on page A–1.
