The labeling menu should appear. Turn the general purpose knob or use the
main-menu arrow keys to select each letter. Press Enter Char from the main
menu to enter each letter. When you have entered the name, press the side menu
OK Accept item. (See Figure 3–69.)
To turn on or off the confirm delete message, toggle the side menu Confirm
Delete button.
When the confirm delete option is OFF, the oscilloscope can immediately delete
files or directories. When the confirm option is ON, the oscilloscope warns you
before it deletes files and gives you a chance to reconsider
To turn on or off the file overwrite lock, toggle the side menu Overwrite Lock
button.
When overwrite lock is on, the oscilloscope will not permit you to write over an
existing file of the same name. An important reason to allow overwriting is to let
you write files using a target file name that contains wild card characters (“?”).
This means the oscilloscope creates sequential files whose names are similar
except for the sequential numbers that go in the real name in the place of the
question marks.
To format a 720 Kbyte or 1.44 Mbyte disk, turn the general purpose knob until it
scrolls the cursor over the name of the drive to format in (fd0:). Then, press the
side menu Format button.

Printing a Hardcopy
The TDS Oscilloscope can provide you with hardcopies of its display. To obtain
a hardcopy, you need to know how to configure the communication and
hardcopy parameters of the oscilloscope, how to connect it to one of the many
hardcopy devices it supports, and how to print the hardcopy. This subsection
describes how to do these tasks and how to save a hardcopy to a floppy disk.
