Side menu button Description
Internal File Format
Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data to a USB flash drive in internal waveform
save file (.isf) format. This format is the fastest to write and creates the smallest-sized
files. Use the internal waveform format if you intend to recall a waveform and store it
into reference memory for viewing or measuring.
Spreadsheet File Format Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data to a USB flash drive as a
comma-separated data file compatible with most spreadsheet programs.
MathcadFileFormat
Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data to a USB flash drive in M athcad format.
Use this format if you intend to import the waveform data into Mathcad software.
Save Active Waveforms to Consecutive
Files
Immediately saves all active w aveforms to consecutively-numbered files in internal
save file (.isf) format. This menu item is only a vailable when the Internal File Format
is selected.
