begins the process used to save trace data, limit-line tables, or amplitude-correction factors on the memory card. Pressing Trace + Card accesses a softkey menu that allows you to select the trace to be saved (trace A, trace B, or trace C) and accesses the LIMIT LINES and AMP COR
softkeys. To save a trace, press TRACE A , TRACE B , or TRACE C , use the numeric keypad to enter a trace register number, and press (ENTER]. To save limit-line tables or amplitude-correction factors, press LIMIT LINES or
AMP COR , use the numeric keypad to enter a trace register number, and press [ENTER). If windows are being used, only the trace of the active window will be saved.
If you want the file name of the stored data to contain a prefix, press Change Prefix to enter a prefix before storing the data. If the trace data was stored using a prefix, the hle name is t(prefix)-(register number). If no prefix was available, the data is stored under t-(register number). File names for limit-line tables and amplitude-correction factors are treated the same way as file names for trace data, except “1” or “a” is used instead of “t.” If a screen title is present, it is saved with the trace data. The time and date that the data was stored is appended to the screen title.
When comparing a trace displayed in view mode with a recalled trace, it is possible to over-write the displayed trace by recalling the trace data. This can happen because the instrument state is saved (and recalled) with the trace data.
For example, if you save trace A when it is in clear-write mode, place trace A in view mode, then recall the trace data into trace B, trace B will be placed in view mode, but the trace mode of trace A is changed to clear-write mode (since the trace mode of trace A was clear-write when it was saved). To avoid this problem, we change the trace mode of the traces to view or blank mode before saving the trace data.
