General Recording Options
Teledyne LeCroy Corporation
The default option name is default. Default preserves the current Recording Options
settings.
The purpose of the Options Name box is to give you a place to preserve different
Recording Options that you use on a recurrent basis. For example, if you use two or three
different Recording Options configurations, you can save these configurations and load
them the next time they are needed.
Because Options Names are descriptive labels and not file names, you can enter in any
text you like into the box. Your labels can be very descriptive such as "Trigger on High
Speed traffic when CRC errors occur".
To create a new Recording Options name:
1. Enter a comment for the new file in the Options Name field.
2. Click Save to display the Save As window.
3. Specify a filename (*.rec)
4. Click Save.
To load a Recording Options name:
1. Click Load to display the Open window.
2. From the list of .rec files, select the one that represents your Options Name.
The options settings for that name then display.

Trace File Name & Path
Trace File Name & Path is the location for saving your trace file. The default recording file
name is data.usb for Low, Full, and High Speed recordings. If you are recording on both
channels, then the system creates two files: data_0.usb for Channel 0, and data_1.usb for
Channel 1.
Click Trace File Name & Path.
Click Change Default Location to display a Specify Trace File Name dialog in which to
enter the recording file name *.usb for all subsequent recordings.
Note:
Due to restrictions on where files can be written by users in Windows™ 7 and Windows 8, the
USB Protocol Suite software may implicitly change a directory from the Program Files path
x:\Program Files\Lecroy\… t o the user's data path x:\Users\Public\Documents\Lecroy\…
This is done (for example) when the desired Trace File Name & Path has such a reference
in the Recording Options file. Note that when the opposite situation occurs (a Windows 7
and Windows 8 path is referenced), no implicit directory changes are made, since the
Windows 7 and Windows 8 path is legal on an XP system. See
Windows 8 Directory Protections” on page 71
Important: Make sure that you do not attempt to save traces on a network drive on which
you do not have create or write permissions. Such an operation is not supported in the
current software.
