Save and Load waveforms
The 1205CXB allows you to save waveforms and to recall them. You can display recalled waveforms
together with live cable waveforms to compare them easily. This can be very useful in cases such as
comparing a waveform taken when a cable was installed with a live one when a customer reports a
fault.
