begins the process used to save trace data, limit-line tables,
or amplitude-correction factors on the memory card.
Pressing Trace
+
Card accesses a softkey menu that
allows you to select the trace to be saved (trace A, trace B,
or trace C) and accesses the LIMIT LINES and AMP COR
softkeys. To save a trace, press TRACE A , TRACE
B
, or
TRACE C , use the numeric keypad to enter a trace register
number, and press (ENTER]. To save limit-line tables or
amplitude-correction factors, press LIMIT LINES or
AMP COR , use the numeric keypad to enter a trace register
number, and press
[ENTER).
If windows are being used, only
the trace of the active window will be saved.
If you want the file name of the stored data to contain a
prefix, press Change Prefix to enter a prefix before
storing the data. If the trace data was stored using a prefix,
the hle name is t(prefix)-(register number). If no prefix was
available, the data is stored under t-(register number). File
names for limit-line tables and amplitude-correction factors
are treated the same way as file names for trace data, except
“1” or “a” is used instead of “t.” If a screen title is present,
it is saved with the trace data. The time and date that the
data was stored is appended to the screen title.
When comparing a trace displayed in view mode with a
recalled trace, it is possible to over-write the displayed trace
by recalling the trace data. This can happen because the
instrument state is saved (and recalled) with the trace data.
For example, if you save trace A when it is in clear-write
mode, place trace A in view mode, then recall the trace
data into trace B, trace B will be placed in view mode, but
the trace mode of trace A is changed to clear-write mode
(since the trace mode of trace A was clear-write when it was
saved). To avoid this problem, we change the trace mode
of the traces to view or blank mode before saving the trace
data.
