10 Documentation, storing and recalling
The oscilloscope allows you to store and recall all screen
displays, user defined settings (e.g. the
trigger conditions and
time base settings), reference curves, simple curves and sets
of formulas. There is an internal memory for
reference curves,
instrument settings, and sets of formulas. These data, copies
of screen displays and curve data can also be stored on an
USB stick.
The USB stick should not exceed 4GB and must
be FAT formatted (FAT32). It should be avoided to
store a large number of files on the USB stick.
You can access the main menu to store and load functions by
