3.
If you are loading a pre-existing mask, touch the Load Mask tab, then the File
button. You can then enter the file name or browse to its location.
4.
If you want to make a mask from your waveform, touch the Make Mask tab.
5.
Touch inside the Ver Delta and Hor Delta fields and enter boundary values,
using the pop-up numeric keypad.
6.
Touch the Browse button to create a file name and location for the mask if
you want to save it.
7.
Touch the Gate tab, then enter values in the Start and Stop fields to constrain
the mask to a portion of the waveform. Or, you can simply touch and drag the
Gate posts, which initially are placed at the extreme left and right ends of the
grid.

Overview
There are several ways to save and recall your signals:
1. Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace to a Memory
location (Reference Waveform).
2. Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace as Data.
3. Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace as a Screen Image.
Memories (Reference Waveforms)
Memories are saved in non-volatile RAM on the WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope.
Saving to a memory is quick and easy. It is the ideal way to save data for quick
comparison with another waveform.
Waveform Data
Waveform Data is usually saved in a binary or ASCII format (though other formats
are available). The data can be recalled on the same oscilloscope, or transferred to
another oscilloscope or other program (like Excel, MATLAB, or Mathcad) for
further processing. If recalled on an oscilloscope, it would be recalled in a Memory
(reference waveform) trace.
Screen Image
Screen images can be saved in a number of different image formats, and saved to
a file, printed, or sent as an e-mail attachment. Screen images are not actual
oscilloscope data, and cannot be recalled into the oscilloscope.
