Saving and Recalling Waveforms
Overview
There are several ways to save and recall your signals:

Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace to a Memory
location (Reference Waveform).

Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace as Data.

Save your Channel signal, Math trace, or Zoom trace as a Screen
Image.
Memories (Reference Waveforms)
Memories are saved in non-volatile RAM on the WaveSurfer MXs-B
oscilloscope. Saving to a memory is quick and easy. It is the ideal way to
save data for quick comparison with another waveform.
Waveform Data
Waveform Data is usually saved in a binary or ASCII format (though other
formats are available). The data can be recalled on the same oscilloscope,
or transferred to another oscilloscope or other program (like Excel,
MATLAB, or Mathcad) for further processing. If recalled on an oscilloscope,
it would be recalled in a Memory (reference waveform) trace.
Screen Image
Screen images can be saved in a number of different image formats, and
saved to a file, printed, or sent as an e-mail attachment. Screen images are
not actual oscilloscope data, and cannot be recalled into the oscilloscope.
Saving and Recalling Memories
Fastest Way to Store and Display
Being able to compare a current acquisition with a reference trace is a very
fundamental oscilloscope need. The WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope has
made it easy to save a channel, math trace, or zoom trace to a memory
location.
