Math and Measure
Memory
The instrument is equipped with internal memory slots (Mn) to which you can copy any waveform that is
active on the grid. This is a convenient way to store an acquisition for later viewing and analysis.
Memories can be used as source inputs for most oscilloscope math and measurements, allowing you to
compare historical data to a live acquisition or perform "what if" modeling on saved acquisitions.
Saving Memories
Store memories on the Memory dialogs (Mn). Memories are created at the same scale as the source
trace, but they can be adjusted independently by using the zoom factor controls that appear next to the
Mn dialogs.
Save Waveform to Memory
Tip: Try to choose an empty slot, as anything currently stored in that location will be overwritten. All
memories will state if they are empty or an acquisition is stored there.
On oscilloscopes with OneTouch, touch the Add New box and choose Memory until you see an empty
memory slot. Drag the descriptor box of the trace you wish to store onto the Mn descriptor box.
Or
1. Press the front panel Mem button or choose Math > Memory Setup to open the Memories dialog.
2. Touch the Mn tab corresponding to the memory slot you wish to use.
3. In Copy from Waveform, choose the source trace to copy to memory.
4. Touch Copy Now.
5. Optionally, check Trace On to immediately display the memory. Use the Zoom controls to adjust
the scale of the memory trace.
