12.1 Saving, Loading and Printing Data
After a measurement with the R&S RTO you would usually like to save the results for
further evaluation or comparison. You can save the results of a measurement as a data
file containing the waveform data, or print or save the current measurement display to a
printer or a file. In order to repeat measurements at different times or perform similar
measurements with different test data, it is useful to save the used instrument settings
and load them again later. These tasks are described here.

12.1.1 Configuring Printer Output and Printing
If you want to store the graphical results of the measurement, you can either print the
current display on a printer or save an image to a file.
You can configure the format and colors used for printing, inverse the colors, and edit the
image. A preview of the current print image is shown for reference.
1. Press the PRINT key to display the "Print" dialog box.
2. Tap the printer selection box to select the printer to use for printing.
3. Tap the "Color" selection box to configure black and white or color images.
4. Tap the "Orientation" selection box to select the paper format.
5. To enhance waveform printouts on white paper, enable the "Inverse color" option.
6. If the current display is likely to have changed since you opened the "Print" dialog
box (e.g. due to a running measurement), tap the "Update image" button.
The current print image is updated.
7. In order to zoom into the image preview, enable the "Zoom" option beneath the pre-
view area.
The image is enlarged and scrollbars are displayed to scroll through the print image.
