Operating Information
2-22 AWG510 & AWG520 Service Manual
. 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,
shown in Figure 2–10. 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 ENTER front-panel button
to close the dialog box and save the file.
If you are saving a file with a record length larger than 256 data points and the
record is not evenly divisible by four, 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 2–8. You can 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.

Message Descriptions
Leave as it is Thedata is saved, as it is, without making changes.
Append 0 With Level-0 data added after the data, a file with a data length meeting
the requirements is created.
Expand With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirements is created.
Expand with Clock With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirements is created. In addition, the clock frequency increases
without change in scalingfactor. The settings are saved in the file.
Repeat With repetitions of the original data linked, a file with a data length
meeting the requirements is created. If the total length of the linked data
exceeds 4M points, this will cause an error.
