Save Waveforms

The Save Waveform function saves trace data to either an internal memory location, or to a text or
binary format file (.trc). The source waveform can be any type of trace; a channel, math function,
zoom, or even another memory. Use Recall Waveform to restore these previously saved waveforms to
the display.
Note: Only files saved in binary format (.trc) can be recalled to the touch screen.
By default, trace files are saved to the D:\...\Waveforms folder on the instrument hard drive, although
you can choose another location, such as a USB drive. The file name is autogenerated from the
<source trace><trace title><number in sequence> (e.g., C1test000001).
Choose File > Save Waveform from the menu bar or click the Save Waveform button on the main
Save/Recall dialog.
Save Waveform To Memory
1. Touch Memory.
Note: When Memory is selected, only Source and Destination controls are shown on the
Save Waveform dialog. When File is selected, many more controls are available.
2. Choose the Source trace you are saving.
3. Choose the Destination location.
4. Touch Save Now!
Save Waveform To File
1. Touch File.
2. Choose the Source waveform.
3. Optionally, touch Trace Title to change the root file name of your waveforms.
Caution: Numbers you place at the end of this name are truncated because the
instrument appends a sequence number to each file. Place numbers at the beginning,
or place an alpha character after the number (e.g., XYZ32a).
