Saving and Recalling Waveforms
This instrument can save any number of waveforms, limited only by the space
you have to store them.
By saving a waveform, you can recall it at a later time for comparison, evalua-
tion, and documentation. This capability is helpful when you want to:
HRecall a waveform for further evaluation or comparison with other wave-
forms.
HExtend the waveform carrying capacity of the instrument. The instrument
supports four reference, four channel, and four math waveforms. If you want
more than four references, you can save the additional reference to disk for
recall later.
The Reference-Waveform control window contains a Label field for including
comments with your saved waveforms. Using comments you can store informa-
tion, readable upon recall, describing each waveform that you save.
Virtual Keyboarding. If you do not have a keyboard connected, you can still
enter comments and name waveform files. The Reference control window
includes a Keyboard button. When you touch or click it, the instrument displays
a virtual keyboard on screen that you can use with your mouse or the touch
screen to enter the waveform-path name, file name, and comment.
You cannot recall a waveform into a channel or a math waveform. The instru-
ment recalls each waveform into one of the reference waveform locations
(Ref1-Ref4).
