Operating Basics

NOTE. When you exit an editor without saving edited data, the instrument displays the message Save the changes you made? Push the Yes side button to save the waveform data.

To save waveform data to a new file name, push File (bottom)￿Save As (pop-up)￿OK(side). The instrument opens the Input Filename dialog box as shown in Figure 2±18. Use this dialog box to enter a file name. If necessary, you can select a storage media or directory by pushing the Drive... side menu button. When you are done entering the file name, push the front panel ENTER button to close the dialog box and save the file.

If you are saving a file with a record length larger than 64 data points, the instrument needs to adjust the record length to meet internal memory record length requirements. The instrument displays one of the messages shown in Table 2±10. Select one of the messages and push the OK side button to accept the recommended change or cancel the save and then edit the file to satisfy the data record length requirements.
