etwomodesofcapturing:FreezeandBuffer.Thefirst mode can freeze a
single tile, or all tiles simultaneously, and saves it to memory while other displays
and information continue to be live. For this type of capture, frozen information is
lost when the power cycles.
The second mode, buffer capture mode, captures and stores signal data for later
recall to the instrument or to the USB drive for later analysis. You can set this
instrument to buffer capture manually or using triggers. Both modes are useful
for comparing sources or capturing transient events.

E. Both capture freeze and capture buffer information can be downloaded
from the instrument Web page.
Ca
pture freeze works in both four-tile and full-screen modes, however, if you
freeze a trace in 4-tile mode, the image will not be shown if you go to full-screen
mode. The image will still be available if you go back to 4-tile mode. Likewise,
if you freeze a waveform image in a tile and then switch the tile to another
measurement such as Vector, the frozen waveform image is hidden. If you then
change the tile back to waveform, the image will reappear.
NOTE. For waveform d isplays, the captured image is shown in a different color to
distinguish it from the live image. For all displays, the instrument continues to log
error status in the background while the display is captured.
