7 Saving and Printing Data

Saving oscilloscope data

N O T E

Here are a few points about saving oscilloscope data:

•You can save a waveform trace and recall it later. The recalled trace appears in cyan (blue).

•You can save oscilloscope setup parameters and recall them later. The setup file stores settings such as horizontal timebase, vertical sensitivity, trigger mode, trigger level, measurements, cursors, and math functions. This lets you easily and consistently set up the oscilloscope to make a particular measurement.

•There is a distinction between print and save: print always refers to printing the display to a printer. Save means saving data to a USB drive or the oscilloscope’s internal memory.

The following table shows types of data and where the data can be saved.
