Save and Recall Information
The oscilloscope provides permanent storage for setups, waveforms, and scre en images. Use the internal storage of the
oscilloscope to save setup files and reference waveform data.
Use external storage, such as CompactFlash media and USB flash drives, to save setups, waveform s, and screen images. Use the
external storage to carry data to remote 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 multipurpose knob a to scroll through the external file structure.

Naming you r file. The oscilloscope gives all files it creates a default name in the following format:
tekXXXXX.set for setup files where XXXXX is an integer from 00000 to 99999
tekXXXXX.png, tekXXXXX.bmp, or tekXXXXX. tif for image files
tekXXXXYYY.csv for spre adsheet files or tekXXXXYYY.isf for internal format files
For waveforms, the XXXX is an integer from 0000 to 9999. The YYY is the channe l of the waveform, and can be one of the following:
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for the analog ch annels
D00, D01, D02, D03, and so on through D15 for the digital channels
