You can save a screen image, the oscilloscope settings, or waveform data to a file
on the USB flash drive through the Save/Recall menu.
Each save option operates in a similar way. As an example, to save a screen
image file to a flash drive, follow these steps:
1. Insert a USB flash drive into the USB Flash Drive port.
2. Push Utility ► Options ► Printer Setup and set the following options:
Option Settings Description
Ink Saver On, Off Saves the screen image on a white

Layout Portrait, Landscape Orients the screen shot
3. Access the screen you want to save.
4. Push the Save/Recall front-panel button.
5. Select the Action ► Save Image ► Save option.
The oscilloscope saves the screen image in the current folder and automatically
generates the file name. See Save-Recall on page 96.
