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:
H recall a waveform for further evaluation or comparison with other wave-
forms.
H extend the waveform carrying capacity of the instrument. The instrument
supports eight reference, eight channel, and eight math waveforms. If you
want more than eight references, you can save the additional reference to
disk for recall later.
Some features of note follow:
Commenting. The Save-Waveform dialog box and the Recall Waveform dialog
box contain a comments field for including and reading comments with your
saved waveforms. That way, you can store information, 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 Save and Recall Setup Waveform
dialog boxes include the Virtual Keyboard button shown left. 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 into a channel or a math waveform. The instrument recalls
each waveform into one of the reference waveform locations (R1-R8). Also, you
cannot save and recall waveform databases.
