CSA7000 Series, TDS7000 Series, & TDS6000 Series Instruments User Manual
If you do not have a keyboard connected, you can still enter comments and name
setup files. The Save and Recall Setup windows include the Virtual Keyboard.
When you touch or click a setup name, the instrument displays a keyboard on
screen that you can use with your mouse or the touch screen to enter the
setup-path name, setup-file name, and comment.
The instrument excludes the following items when saving setups:
H Waveforms in Ch1 to Ch4 and references (Ref1-Ref4). Control settings
(scale, position, and so on) are saved but not the waveform data. Upon recall
of the setup, the settings are applied, but the data is not restored.
H Waveforms in Math Waveforms (Math1-Math4). Control settings and the
math expression are retained but not the waveform data. Upon setup recall,
however, the recalled math waveform expressions will be applied, but math
waveform data is not restored.
H User Options that are stored in the Windows Registry. These include all
options accessed by first selecting Utilities (menu bar), and then User
Preferences (Utilities menu).
You cannot recall into a channel or a math waveform. The instrument recalls
each waveform into one of the reference waveform locations (Ref1-Ref4).
If you want to save a waveform in a useful format for other applications, such as
a spreadsheet, use the export function (see Exporting and Copying Waveforms on
page 3--262).
A few things to remember when saving and recalling setups:
All Settings are Retained. The instrument includes almost all instrument settings,
with a few exceptions (such as user options) in the saved setup.
Retaining Current Settings. Recalling a setup replaces the current setup with the
recalled setup. If you do not want to lose your current setup, save it to its own
setup file for later recall before you recall a setup.
