Saving and Recalling Setups
This oscilloscope can save a number of different instrument setups for later
recall, limited only by the space that you have to store the setups.
By saving and recalling different setups, you can switch from setup to setup
without having to first manually record your settings and then manually set
them. This capability is helpful when you want to:
H Save and recall a setup that optimizes the oscilloscope for displaying and
analyzing a certain signal.
H Save a series of setups to help automate a procedure through recall of a
sequence of saved setups as part of performing the procedure.
H Export a setup for sharing with a second oscilloscope.
You can include and view comments with your setups when you use the Save
Instrument Setups and the R ecall Instrument Setups control windows. These
comments may describe, for example, each setup you save and its intended
application.
If you do not have an attached keyboard, you can still enter comments and name
setup files. The Save and Recall windows include a pop-up keyboard that you
can use with your mouse or the touch screen to enter the setup path name, file
name, and comments.
The oscilloscope excludes the following items when saving setups:
H Channel waveforms and reference waveforms. Control settings (scale,
position, and so on) are saved but not the waveform data. Upon recall of the
setup, the settings are applied, but the data is not restored.
