Use the procedure that follows to save a waveform or waveforms to the
instrument hard disk, a floppy disk, or third party storage device.
Overview To save a waveform Control elements & resources
Prerequisites 1. The instrument must have appropriate sampling
modules in place before powering on the instrument.
Instrument must be powered up.
2. Make sure the waveform to be saved exists; that is, your
source must be a channel, an active math waveform, or
an active reference. Display the waveform in the
timebase in which you want to save it, Main1, Mag1,
and/or Mag2, or the waveform will not appear in the
Save Waveform dialog box.
For help in setup and acquiring waveforms, check the
references at right.
HSee Sampling Module User Manuals for
sampling module installation.
HSee Power On Instrument on page 1--13.
HSee page 3--24 for acquisition setup.
HSee page 3--48 for trigger setup.
HSee page 3--57 for time base display.
Display the
Save Waveform
dialog box
3. From the application menu bar, select File, and then
select Save Waveform. See right.
The Save Waveform dialog box lists all available
waveforms for all displayed timebases, allows for
browsing to destination directory (saving to file) or for
selecting a reference (saving to one of R1-R8). It also
includes a field for adding your comments. See below.
