Saving and recalling traces and setups

312
You can save the oscilloscope's current setup and waveform
trace to the oscilloscope's internal memory. In 6000 Series
oscilloscopes that do not have the Secure Environment Mode
option the data are stored to non-volatile memory. In 6000
Series oscilloscopes that are equipped with Secure
Environment mode the data are stored to volatile memory.
In all 6000 Series oscilloscopes, you can save the setup and
waveform trace to a USB mass storage device (for example, a
USB flash drive), then recall the setup, waveform trace, or both
later.
Do not connect USB "hub" devices or USB devices that identify
themselves as hardware type "CD" because these devices are
not compatible with the 6000 Series oscilloscopes.
When you save a setup, all settings including measurements,
cursors, math functions, and horizontal, vertical, and trigger
settings are saved to the file you have selected.
Saving a trace lets you save the visible portion of the acquisition
(the displayed waveform) for later recall and comparison with
other measurements. Recalled traces appear on the display in
blue.
A recalled trace is typically used for a quick comparison of
measurement results. For example, you might make a
measurement on a known good system, save the result in
internal memory or to a USB mass storage device, then make
the same measurement on a test system and recall trace to see
the differences.
