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.
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
measu reme nt re sult s. Fo r ex ampl e, yo u mig ht ma ke a m easu reme nt 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.
