Saving Oscilloscope Data

Here are a few points about saving oscilloscope data:

• You can save a waveform trace and recall it later. The recalled trace appears in cyan

(blue).

• You can save oscilloscope setup parameters and recall them later. The setup file

stores settings such as horizontal timebase, vertical sensitivity, trigger mode, trigger

level, measurements, cursors, and math functions. This lets you easily and

consistently set up the oscilloscope to make a particular measurement.

• There is a distinction between print and save: print always refers to printing the

display to a printer. Save means saving data to a USB mass storage device or the

oscilloscope’s internal memory.

The following table shows types of data and where the data can be saved.

*If Secure Environment Mode option is installed then data is prevented from being

stored in the oscilloscope’s internal memory.

NOTE

You can also save the oscilloscope’s display image using a web browser. See “Get
