Save and Recall Information
Save and Recall Information
The oscilloscope provides permanent storage for setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the internal storage of the
oscilloscope to save setup
fi les and reference waveform data.
Use external storage, such as USB fl ash drives or network drives, to save setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the
external storage to carry data to remote computers for further analysis and for archiving.
External fi le structure.
If you are saving information to external storage, select the appropriate menu (such as the To
File side-bezel menu to save setups and waveforms) and turn multipurpose knob a to scroll through the external fi le structure.
E: is the USB memory device plugged into the fi rst (left) USB port on the front of the oscilloscope
F: is the USB memory device plugged into the second (right) USB port on the front of the oscilloscope
G: and H: are the USB memory devices plugged into the USB ports on the rear of the oscilloscope
I through Z are network storage locations
Use multipurpose knob a to scroll through the list of fi les. Use the Select front panel button to open and close folders.
Naming your fi le.
The oscilloscope gives all fi les it creates a default name in the following format:
tekXXXXX.set for setup fi les where XXXXX is an integer from 00000 to 99999
tekXXXXX.png, tekXXXXX.bmp, or tekXXXXX.tif for image fi les
tekXXXXYYY.csv for spreadsheet fi les or tekXXXXYYY.isf for internal format fi les
For waveforms, the XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9999. The YYY is the channel of the waveform, and can be one of
the following:
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for the analog channels
D00, D01, D02, D03, and so on through D15 for the digital channels
MTH for a math waveform
RF1, RF2, RF3, or RF4 for reference memory waveforms
ALL for a single spreadsheet fi le containing multiple channels when you select Save All Waveforms
For RF traces, XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9999. The YYY de fi nes the trace and can be one of the following:
NRM for a normal trace
AVG for an average trace
MAX for a maximum hold trace
MIN for a minimum hold trace
AVT for an amplitude versus time trace
FVT for a frequency versus time trace
