From File, To File, or File Name
The From file, To file, or File name softkey (file field) is used to select a file
name for a disk operation. Simply use the knob, arrow keys, or keypad to
scroll through the directory listing. The file name in the file field matches the
highlighted file name in the directory listing.
Another way to select a file is to press the file field softkey. The file name
menu allows you to spell out the name of the file you want. The knob
positions the cursor over a letter or number in the character list. Press the
Enter key on the keypad to enter that character into the file name field. You
can also use the keypad to enter numbers into the filename. The arrow keys
move the cursor forward and backward through the file name. The
Backspace softkey backspaces over characters in the file name. The Delete
softkey deletes characters from the file name. Press the Clr (clear) key on
the keypad to erase the file name from the menu.
You do not add a file extension in this menu because the oscilloscope
automatically assigns a file extension depending the type of file you selected.
The file extensions are listed below.
•
.WAV for internal waveforms.
•
.WDB for databases.
•
.TXT for text waveforms.
•
.PIX for pixel memories.
•
.SET for front-panel setups.
•
.MSK for masks.
The .PCL, .TIF, .GIF, and .PCX file extensions are used by the Setup print
menu.
