7 Saving and Printing Data
Saving oscilloscope data
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.

NOTE You can also save the oscilloscope’s display image using a web browser.
