Creating Reference Waveforms
Use this procedure to create reference waveforms from active or math waveforms.
1 Click Save on the toolbar or click Save As from File menu.
2 Select Waveform from the Save As dialog box.
3 From the Source list, select the waveform that you want to save as a reference.
4 Click Ref(n) under Save in Oscilloscope Memory to save the waveform to nonvolatile
memory. Or select a location from the Save in list to save the waveform to a file, and then
use the pop-up keyboard to enter a meaningful name for the waveform in the Name text
box.
5 Click Save.
Note
When you save a waveform as a reference waveform, a file containing the waveform data is
created in C:\TekScope\Waveforms. The file is named TDS_REFn.WFM, where n is the
reference waveform number. Do not manually delete this file because the data will no longer be
available.
Saving Reference Waveforms using Auto-
Increment File Name
Use this procedure to repetitively save waveforms without typing in a large number of unique file
names.
1 Click Save on the toolbar or click Save As from File menu.
2 Select Waveform from the Save As dialog box.
3 From the Source list, select the waveform that you want to save as a reference.
4 Select Auto-increment file name in the Save As dialog box.
5 Enter a descriptive name in the Base file name text box. For example, if you are saving a
series of rise time data files, you can use "Risetime" as the base file name.
6 The Count text box defaults to "000". Change this if you want to start saving your series of
files with another 3-digit number.
7 Change the file type if necessary.
8 Click Save.
Your first file is saved as Risetime000.ext , where ext is the file type extension. The next file will
be Risetime001.ext , and so on.
If Count reaches 999, it is suggested that you change the base file name to, for example,
Risetime1on the next save. Your next file will then be saved as Risetime1000.ext. You will
receive a warning message if you are going to overwrite any existing files with the same name.
Use the auto-increment file name feature to save a series of setups, exported images, waveforms,
and measurements.
