Saving data

Saving oscilloscope setup information

You can save the oscilloscope internal settings to an internal memory location (setup 1–10) or to an external

le on the USB

drive. A setup

le contains most of the oscilloscope settings, including vertical, horizontal, trigger, cursor, and measurement

parameters. It does not include communications information, such as GPIB addresses. You can then use the setup data to
quickly set the oscilloscope to take a certain measurement.

Use this procedure to save the current oscilloscope settings to a memory location or external

le.

(Optional) Install a USB drive to save the setup data to a

le on the USB drive.
