*SAV 2

SAVe:ACQDATA (No Query Form)

the internal data format.
Save and Recall
SAVe:ACQDATA <file-path>, CH<x>
<file path>
<Space>
SAVe :ACQDATA CH <x> ,
<file path> (available on instruments with the Option 1F File System) is the
location in mass storage memory where the setup will be recalled from. It is a
quoted string that defines the file name and path. Input the file path using the
form <drive>/<dir>/<filename>. <drive> and one or more <dir>s are
optional. If you do not specify them, the TDS will read the file from the current
directory. <filename> stands for a filename of up to 8 characters followed by a
period (“.”) and any 3-character extension. We recommend you use .WF1 to
identify the extension to files that store waveform/acquisition data. Do not use
wild card characters.
The current directory refers to the name of a directory as returned by the
FILESystem:CWD query.
CH <x> is an input channel.
SAVE:ACQDATA CH3, "hd0:MYFILE.WF1"
saves the CH3 acquisition data to the MYFILE.WF1 file on device hd0.
SAVe:SETUp (No Query Form)
Saves the current front-panel setup into the specified memory location or file.
This is equivalent to selecting the Save Current Setup in the Save/Recall Setup
menu.
