Description
Instrument SpecificFile
Format (.I
SF)
Sets the oscilloscope to save data from analog, digital, or RF channels (and math and
reference
waveforms derived, where possible, from those channels), in Instrument Specific
Format (.isf) format. This format is the fastest to write. It also creates the smallest-sized file.
Use this format if you intend to recall an analog waveform or RF trace to reference m emory
for viewi
ng or measuring.
Spreads
heet file format
(.csv)
Sets the
oscilloscope to save data a s a comma-separated data file that is compatible with
popular spreadsheet programs.
Analog and RF data stored in this file format can also be recalled to reference memory.
Saving a waveform or trace to reference memory. To save a waveform or trace to nonvolatile memory inside the
oscilloscope, push the Save Waveform screen button, select the waveform that you want to save, and then select one of the
four reference waveform locations.
Saved waveforms contain only the most recent acquisi tion. Gray-scale information, if any, is not saved.
NOTE. 10 M and 20 M reference waveforms are volatile and not saved when the oscilloscope power is turned off. To
keep these waveforms, save them to external storage.
