Saving a Waveform to File.
When you push the

side-bezel menu button, the oscilloscope changes the side-bezel
menu contents. The following table describes these side-bezel menu items for saving data to a mass storage

Side-bezel menu button
Description
Internal File Format (.ISF)
Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data from analog channels (and math and reference
waveforms derived from analog channels), in internal waveform save
fi
le (.isf) format. This format
is the fastest to write and creates the smallest-sized
fi
le. Use this format if you intend to recall a
waveform to reference memory for viewing or measuring.
The oscilloscope cannot save digital waveforms in an .isf
fi
le format.
Spreadsheet File Format
(.CSV)
Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data as a comma-separated data
fi
le compatible with
popular spreadsheet programs. This
fi
le cannot be recalled to reference memory.
Saving an Analog Waveform to Reference Memory.
To save an analog waveform to nonvolatile memory inside the
oscilloscope, select the waveform that you want to save, push the
Save Waveform
screen button, and then select one of the
reference waveform locations. Four-channel models have four reference locations. Two-channel models have two reference
locations.
Saved waveforms contain only the most recent acquisition. Gray-scale information, if any, is not saved.
