Save and Recall Information
The oscilloscope provides permanent storage for setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the internal storage of t he
oscilloscope to save setup files and reference waveform data.
Use external storage, such as USB fl ash drives, to save setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the external storage to carry
data to re mote computers for further analysis and for archiving.
External File Structure. If you are saving information to external storage, select the appropriate menu (such as the To File
side-bezel menu to save setups and waveforms) and turn multipurpo se knob a to scroll through the external file structure. Drive E is
the USB flash d rive plugged into the USB Host port on the front of the oscilloscope.
Use multipurpose knob a to scroll through the list of files. Use the Select front panel button to op en and close fo lders.
Naming Your File. The oscilloscope gives the files it creates a default name in the following format:
tekXXXXX.set for individual setup files where XXXXX is an integer fro m 00000 to 99999; the name is sh ortene d to tXXXXX.set
for setup files saved with the Save All function
tekXXXXX.png, tekXXXXX.bmp, or tekXXXXX.tif for individual image files; the name is shortened to tXXXXX.png,
tXXXXX.bmp, or tXXXXX.tif for image files saved with the Save All function
tXXXXYYY.csv for all spreadsheet files or tXXX XYYY.isf for all internal format files
For waveform and for internal format files, the XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9 999. The YYY is the channel of the waveform, and
canbeoneofthefollowing:
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for the analog channels
D00, D01, D02, D03, and so on through D15 for the digital channels
