How to Save and Recall a Setup
You can use the Save and Recall menus to save and recall the various
configuration setups. To access the Save and Recall menus, go to the File menu
in the menu bar and choose Save or Recall.
Note: Do not edit the .ini or the .set files, or the recall setup files generated by
the application. This can cause instability to the application. If you try to edit
the.ini of the .set files, you get an error message ‘The saved file has been
corrupted and cannot be recalled.’
Saving a Setup
You can save various configuration setups and recall them when needed. To save
the application settings to a setup file, follow these steps:
1. Select File> Save
2. Select the Save button
3. Browse or enter a file name. The application appends an .ini extension to the
name of setup files
4. Choose Save to save the setup or Cancel to cancel the action
Note: The application saves the oscilloscope setup to a .set file. The application
.ini files and the oscilloscope .set files have the same file name.

1. Select File> Recall
2. Browse the directory C:\TekApplications\tdsusb2\setup to recall the .ini files
or select the directory where you have saved the setup file
