To Memory The To Memory softkey selects which of the available memory locations the
instrument saves the waveform to. Pressing the To Memory softkey toggles
among the nonvolatile memory locations.
When a waveform is saved to a memory, it overwrites any data that was
previously stored in that memory. All pulse measurements or functions using
that memory location are recalculated. If the waveform display is on, then
the display is also updated.
Waveform memories are nonvolatile so the data is not lost if you press
Autoscale, turn o the power, or set the instrument to the default settings.
A waveform memory contains a single waveform record, including the
horizontal
and
vertical
scaling
parameters
.
Therefore
,
you
can
make
parametric
measurements
on
stored
waveforms
or
use
them
as
operands
in
a
function. Y
ou can
also recall
the waveform
for
future
comparison
or
analysis
,
print
it,
save it
to a
disk,
or
load
it
from
a
disk.
It
takes
less time
to store
and
recall
data
to
waveform
memories
than
to
store
the
same
data
to
the disk
drive
.
Therefore
,
you
may
nd
it
more
convenient
to
use
the
four
waveform memories
for
storing
data
temporarily
,
and
the
disk
drive
for
storing
data
permanently
.

The

softkey
copies
the
selected
waveform
to
the
selected
memory
.
If
you
are
saving a
persistence trace
to a
waveform memory
,
only
the
last
waveform
record
is saved
to that
memory.
That is
because
waveform
memories
store
only
single-valued,
time-ordered data,
and persistence
traces
are multivalued sets of data. Use the pixel memory to store persistence
traces.
