Saving and Loading Waveform Data
Checking the free space on a medium
Refer to page 13-3 for a description of this procedure.
Moving loaded P-P waveforms
Pressing the POSITION key of the channel corresponding to the number of the loaded
waveform prompts you to select whether you want to move the input signal waveform or the
loaded waveform.
“CH” at the “Knob” setting selects to move input signal waveforms;
“MEM” at the “Knob” setting selects to move loaded P-P waveforms.
Entering a file name
The following points must be kept in mind when entering a file name.
• A file name must always be specified;
• Up to eight characters can be entered. However, in case of GO/NO-GO or acquisition-on-
trigger only the first four will be valid;
• For details regarding the characters which can be used, refer to page 4-8;
• The same name cannot be assigned to different data files of the same data type.
(Overwrite inhibit). However, restarting the GO/NO-GO determination or acquisition-on-
trigger function will result in overwriting the old files.
Points to note when saving/loading waveform data
• Acquisition stops when saving or loading is started;
• Only waveform data located within
±
5.12 div of the center of the waveform display
frame is saved. Thus, if the saved waveform exceeds this range vertically, the part
exceeding this range will not be displayed if the waveform is subsequently loaded and
scrolled vertically;
• For DL1540L, medias having less than 20K free capacity cannot be used for ACQ-
waveform data saves.
• When “ACQ” data is loaded, the setting parameters will change to their values at the time
of saving;
• If “P-P” data is loaded, expansion of the waveform and waveform computation are not
possible.
• If the extension of the waveform data file is changed using a personal computer, it will be
impossible to load the data.
• As for “ACQ” data, only “BIN” data will be loaded.
• For more details regarding the display of the waveform information while displaying
loaded P-P waveform or ACQ waveform data, refer to page 7-15.
CAUTION
Never turn OFF the SCSI device or remove the disk (media) such as a MO or a
PD while the access indicator of the SCSI device is lit. Otherwise, damage to
the SCSI device or the disk may result.
