Saving and Recalling Waveforms
This oscilloscope can save any number of waveforms, limited only by the space
that you have to store them.
By saving a waveform, you can recall it at a later time for comparison, evalua-
tion, and documentation. This is helpful when you want to:
H
Recall a waveform for further evaluation or comparison with other wave-
forms.
H
Extend the waveform carrying capacity of the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope
supports four reference, four channel, and four math waveforms. If you want
more than four reference waveforms, you can save additional references to
disk for recall later.
The Reference Setup control window contains a Label field for including
comments with your saved waveforms.
If you do not have an attached keyboard, you can still enter comments and name
reference waveform files. The Reference Setup control window includes a
pop-up keyboard that you can use with your mouse or the touch screen to enter
the waveform path name, file name, and comments.
The oscilloscope recalls each waveform into one of the reference waveform
locations (Ref1-Ref4). You cannot recall
into
a channel or a math waveform.
