navigate to this selection, you have already determined you are recalling Trace and now you want to
specify from which file to do the recall.
When you first enter this dialog, the State File default path is in the Look In: box. The

Also, the only files that are visible are the *.trace files and the Files of type is *.trace, since .trace is the

The recalling Trace function must first verify the file is recallable in this instrument by checking
instrument software version and model number, since it includes State. If everything matches, a full
recall proceeds by aborting the currently running measurement, and loading the state from the saved
state file to as close as possible to the context in which the save occurred. You can open .trace files from
any mode that supports them, so recalling a Trace file switches to the mode that was active when the save
occurred. After switching to the mode of the saved state file, mode settings and data (if any for the mode)
are loaded with values from the saved file and the saved measurement of the mode becomes the newly
active measurement, and the data relevant to the measurement (if there is any) is recalled.
Once the state is loaded, the trace data must be loaded. The internal flags are consulted to see which trace
to load and the "To Trace" setting to see where to load it. Trace data is always loaded with the specified
trace set to View, so that the data is visible and not updating (so as not to erase the recalled data). If the
file is an "all trace" file, all traces are loaded with the saved data (to the original trace the data was saved
from) and set to View. Traces whose data is not loaded are restored to the update state that existed when
they were saved.
In every other way a Trace load is identical to a State load. See section
