Section 22 : Saving Trace Data to a 3.5” Disk or Non-Volatile RAM
Save trace data into non-volatile RAM or 3.5” disk using the AGILENT 35670A
Save/Recall capabilities. All AGILENT 35670A data is stored as a Standard Data

line of Dynamic Signal Analyzers. Utilities are available to view and plot SDF files
from a PC and to access the data programmatically.
