AVE/RECALL

The save function allows saving display image,

waveform data, and panel settings into the

oscilloscope’s internal memory or an external SD

card. The recall function allows recalling the

default factory settings, waveform data, and panel

settings from the oscilloscope’s internal memory

or an external SD card.

File Structures

Three types of file are available: display image, waveform file, and

panel settings.

Display image file format

Format

xxxx.bmp (Windows bitmap format)

Contents

The current display image in 234 x 320 pixels, color

mode. The background color can be inverted (Ink

saver function).

Waveform file format

Format

xxxx.csv (Comma-separated values format which

can be opened in spreadsheet applications such as

Microsoft Excel)

Waveform type CH1, 2

Input channel signal

Math

Math operation result (page46)

Storage location Internal

memory

The oscilloscope’s internal memory,

which can hold 15 waveforms.

DSO-4000 User Manual

External SD

card

An SD card (2GB or less, FAT or

FAT32 format) can hold practically

unlimited number of waveforms.

Ref A, B

The two reference waveforms are used

as the buffer to recall a waveform in

the display. You have to save a

waveform into an internal memory or

an SD card, then copy the waveform

into the reference waveform slot (A or

B), and then recall the reference

waveform into the display.

Waveform data
format

One division includes

25 points of horizontal

and vertical data. The

vertical point starts

from the center line.

The horizontal point

starts from the leftmost

waveform.

The time or amplitude represented by each data

point depends on the vertical and horizontal scale.

For example:
Vertical scale: 10mV/div ( 4mV per point)
Horizontal scale: 100us/div (4us per point)
A waveform file also includes the following

information.

Waveform file

contents: other
