. When you exit an editor without saving edited data, the instrument
displays the message Save the changes you made? Push the Yes side button to
save the waveform data.
To save waveform data to a new file name, push File (bottom) Save As
(pop-up) OK (side). The instrument opens the Input Filename dialog box,
shown in Figure 2–14. Use this dialog box to enter a file name. If necessary, you
can select a storage media or directory by pushing the Drive... side menu button.
When you are done entering the file name, push the ENTER front-panel button
to close the dialog box and save the file.
If you are saving a file with a record length larger than 512 data points and the
record is not evenly divisible by eight, the instrument needs to adjust the record
length to meet internal memory record length requirements. The instrument
displays one of the messages shown in Table 2–6. You can push the OK side
button to accept the recommended change, or cancel the save and then edit the
file to satisfy the data record length requirements.

Message Description
Leave asit is The data is saved, as it is, without making changes. The instrument will
display an error message if you try to load a file that does not meet the
instrument waveform constraints.
Append 0 With LevelĆ0 data added after the data, a file with a data length meeting
the requirementsiscreated.
Expand With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirementsiscreated.
Expand with Clock With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirementsiscreated. In addition, the clock frequency increases
without change in scaling factor. The settings are saved in the file.
Repeat With repetitionsof the original data linked, a file with a data length
meeting the requirementsiscreated. If the total length of the linked data
exceeds8.1M points, thiswill cause an error.
