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

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:) or external Iomega Zip drive (zip:) 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.
To save an image histogram, do the following steps:
1. Enter a mode where an image data base is generated (DPO, Histograms, and
Mask counting) you want to save. Image Hist is grayed out if DPO is not
active.
2. To store an image histogram, press SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM ➞
Image Hist (pop-up) ➞ Save Image Histogram (main).
3. Press To File (side). Then use the general purpose knob and the SELECT
button to select the drive (the file will contain over 800,000 bytes in deep
mode and over 400,000 bytes in shallow mode) 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?????.IMH and by a wild-card icon (shown
left), for storing image histograms. Selecting this file in step 3 stores an image
histogram in a uniquely named, sequentially numbered file. For instance, the
oscilloscope saves the first image histogram you save in the file
TEK00001.IMH, the second in TEK00002.IMH, and so on.
