Saving Files
You can save files from each editor screen. You have the choice of saving your
waveform data to the current file name or to a new file name. To save a waveform
to its current file name, push File (bottom)!Save (pop–up)! OK (side).
If you are saving a waveform for the first time, the instrument opens the Input
Filename dialog box, shown in Figure 2-16. Use this dialog box to enter a file
name. If necessary, you can select a different storage media or directory by pushing
the Drive... side menu button. Enter the file name, then push the OK side button or
the ENTER front–panel button to close the dialog box and save the file.
