Save and Recall
The Save/Recall button lets you store oscilloscope state information (Setups) and waveform
bitmaps and data to internal or external storage. Setup information can be saved to internal
oscilloscope memory or external storage. The remaining data types must be saved to a USB
storage device. The oscilloscope provides a USB Host interface on the front panel to connect a
USB device for external storage.

Save Type
The following save types are supported (setups are the default):
Setups
This save type stores the oscilloscope's state in internal or external memory in a binary format.
External files will be of the form *.SET. At most 20 setting files can be stored in internal memory.
The stored instrument states can be recalled to set the oscilloscope to commonly-used states.
Reference
This save type stores a reference waveform to external memory in a binary format. Press Source
to select CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4 or Math. External files will be of the form *.REF. When recalled,
the reference waveform data will be displayed on the screen.
Binary
The oscilloscope saves the waveform data to external memory in a binary format. External files
will be of the form *.BIN. Choose this save format to conserve space on the storage device.
Recalling the binary is not supported.
BMP (screen picture)
This save type is a bitmap image of the screen and can only be saved to external memory.
Recalling the image is not supported. External files will be of the form *.BMP. You can set the
file name and folder on the external storage device.
CSV
The oscilloscope saves the waveform data to external memory in comma-separate values format,
an ASCII plain-text format. The stored data contain the waveform data points of the displayed
analog channels and the important state parameters of the oscilloscope. Recalling the CSV is not
supported.
The option softkey Param Save is used to save the state parameters when it is set to On.
Note: Saving large waveforms may take a few minutes to save. Do not remove the USB device during
that time
