Saving and Recalling a Setup
This instrument can save a number of different instrument setups for later recall,
limited only by the space 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 instrument 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 instrument.
The Save-Setup and the Recall-Setup control windows provide for including and
viewing comments with your saved setups. You can store information, readable
upon recall, that describes each setup you save and its intended application.
If you do not have a keyboard connected, you can still enter comments and name
setup files. The Save and Recall Setup windows include the Virtual Keyboard.
When you touch or click a setup name, the instrument displays a keyboard on
screen that you can use with your mouse or the touch screen to enter the
setup-path name, setup-file name, and comment.
The instrument excludes the following items when saving setups:
H
Waveforms in Ch1 to Ch4 and references (Ref1-Ref4). 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.
