Oscilloscope Reference Saving and recalling w aveforms
If you do not have an attached keyboard, you can still name setup files. The Save and Recall dialog
boxes include a pop-up keyboard that you can use with your mouse or the touch screen to enter the
setup path nam
eandfile name.
The instrument excludes the following items when saving setups:
Channel waveforms and reference waveforms. Control settings (scale , position, and so on) are saved
but not the waveform data. Upon recall of the setup, the settings are applied, but the data is not restored.
Math waveforms. Control settings and the math expression are retained but not the waveform data.
Upon setup recall, however, the math waveform expressions are applied, but math waveform data
is not rest
ored.
User options stored in the Windows registry. These include all options set in the User Preferences
control w
indow.
If you want to save a waveform in a useful format for other applications, such as a spreadsheet, use the
save or s
aveasfunction(seeSaving and Copying Waveform Data
(see page 787)).
A few other things to remember when s aving and recalling setups:
Recalling a setup replaces the current setup with the recalled setup. If you do not want to lose your
current setup, save the setup file for later recall.
Saved setups may contain settings inappropriate for waveforms currently in your instrument. For
example, if you save a setup that displays a math waveform that is the average of reference waveform
1, whe
n you recall the setup, if the reference is empty, the math and reference waveforms are not
displayed.

Saving and recalling waveforms
This instrument can save any number of waveforms, limited only by the space that you have to store them.
By saving a waveform, you can recall it at a later ti me for comparison, evaluation, and documentation.
This is helpful when you want to:
Recall a waveform for further evaluation or comparison with other waveforms.
Extend the waveform carrying capacity of the instrument. The instrument supports four reference,
four channel, and four math waveforms. If you want more than four reference waveforms, you can
save additional references to disk for recall later.
The Reference Setup control window contains a Label field for including comments with your saved
waveforms.
