Description
Internal File Format (.ISF) Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data from analog channels (and math and reference
waveforms derived from analog channels), in internal waveform save file (.isf) format. This
format is the fastest to write and creates the smallest-sized file. Use this format if you intend to
recall a waveform to reference memory for viewing or measuring.
The oscilloscope cannot save digital waveforms in an .isf file format.
Spreadsheet File Format
(.CSV)
Sets the oscilloscope to save waveform data as a comma-separated data file com patibl e w ith
popular spreadsheet programs. This file cannot be recalled to reference memory.

To save an analog waveform to nonvolatile memory inside the
oscilloscope, select the waveform that you want to save, push the Save Waveform screen button, and then select one of the
reference waveform locations. Two-channel and f our-channel models have two reference locations.
Saved waveforms contain only the most recent acquisition. Gray-scale information, if any, is not saved.
