Part 6: IEEE 488.2 Command Reference
STORE, STO
Description
The STORE command stores the specified waveform data in one of the internal memories (M1 to Mn) or
in the current directory in mass storage. The files are saved in binary with the .trc extension.
The complement to the STORE command is the RECALL command, which recalls waveforms saved to
external files into one of the oscilloscope internal memories.
Set the current directory (where files are stored) with the DIR command.
Command Syntax
STORE [<trace>,<dest>]
<trace>:= C1 to Cn, F1 to Fn, TA to TD, or ALL_DISPLAYED
<dest>:= M1 to Mn, or FILE
Note: TA through TD are for backward compatibility. Although accepted, they are not returned by
queries.
When storing traces to FILE, files are saved with the .trc extension in the directory last set with the DIR
command. File names are autogenerated.
If you send the STORE command without an argument, the current Storage Setup operation will be
stored. Modify this setup using STORE_SETUP.
Example (GPIB)
The following instruction stores the Channel 4 (C4) waveform into Memory 1 (M1):
CMD$="STO C4,M1": CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
The following instruction stores all currently displayed waveforms onto the hard drive:
CMD$="STO ALL_DISPLAYED,FILE": CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
The following instruction executes the storage operation currently defined in the Storage Setup:
CMD$="STO": CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
