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.
