Save and Recall Information
The oscilloscope provides permanent storage for setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the internal storage of the
oscilloscope to save setup files and refe rence waveform data.
Use external USB flash drives, to save setups, waveforms, and screen images. Use the external storage to carry data to remote
computers for further analysis and for a rchiving.
External File Structure. If you are saving information to external storage, select the appropriate menu (such as the To File

Naming Your File. The oscilloscope gives all files it create s a default name in the following format:
tekXXXXX.set for setup files where XXXXX is an integer fro m 00000 to 99999
tekXXXXX.png, tekXXXXX.bmp, or tekXXXXX. tif for image files
tekXXXXYYY.csv for spreadsheet files or tekXXXXYYY.isf for internal format files
For waveforms, the XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9999. The YYY is the channel of the w aveform, and can be one of the following:
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for the analog channels
MTH for a math waveform
