Agilent Technologies 54621D, 24A Saving and Recalling Traces and Setups, Making a hardcopy print

Saving and Recalling Traces and Setups

You can save your current setup and waveform trace to the floppy disk or to internal memory, then recall the setup, waveform trace, or both later.

When you save a setup, all settings including measurements, cursors, math functions, and horizontal, vertical, and trigger settings are saved to the file you have selected.

Making a hardcopy print

To make a hardcopy of the complete screen image including the status line and softkeys, use the Quick Print key. Configure your printer in the Utility -> Print Confg menu.

Saving a trace allows you to save the visible portion of the acquisition (the displayed waveform) for later recall and comparison with other measurements.

The normal application for a recalled trace is quick comparison of measurement results. For example, you might make a measurement on a known good system, save the result in internal trace memory or to floppy disk, then make the same measurement on a test system and recall trace to see the differences.
