TDS 500D, TDS 600B, & TDS 700D User Manual
Executing Tek Secure accomplishes the following tasks:
Replaces all waveforms in reference memories with zero sample values.
Replaces the current front panel setup and all setups stored in setup memory
with the factory setup.
Calculates the checksums of all waveform memory and setup memory
locations to verify successful completion of setup and waveform erasure.
If the checksum calculation is unsuccessful, displays a warning message; if
the checksum calculation is successful, displays a confirmation message.
You can select and load an application into the APPLICATION menu. Then you
can control the application using the APPLICATION menus.
To select an application, do the following steps:
1. Press SAVE/RECALL SETUP ➞ Select Application (main).
2. Then use the general purpose knob to select the exact file from the resulting
scrollbar list. Only files with .APP extensions are displayed. Finally, press
Activate Application (side) to complete the operation.
To run file utilities, see the Managing the File System on page 3–175.
See Example 4: Saving Setups, on page 2–28.
Saving and Recalling Waveforms and Acquisitions
TDS Oscilloscope provides four internal reference memories in any of which you
can store a waveform. Waveforms thus stored are retained even when you turn
the oscilloscope off or unplug it. The oscilloscope also can save waveforms and,
with Option 2M, extended record-length acquisitions to disk. This section
describes how to save, delete, and display reference waveforms and acquisitions.
NOTE. The oscilloscope compresses 500 K point waveforms before saving them
in reference memory. To save longer waveforms, save the waveform to the
optional hard disk. To recall the waveform, return it to acquisition memory.
