3. Press Remove Measrmnt (main) to remove the snapshot display. (You can
also press CLEAR MENU, but a new snapshot will be executed the next
time you display the Measure menu.)
Example 4: Saving Setups
The TDS Oscilloscope can save its controls settings and recall them later to
quickly re–establish a setup. It provides ten storage locations to store up to ten
setups. It also provides a file system, so that you can also save setups to a floppy
disk. Do the following procedures to learn how to save, and then recall, a setup.
NOTE. Besides being able to save several complete setups, the oscilloscope
remembers all the parameter settings when you power it off. That feature lets
you power on and continue where you left off without having to reconstruct the
setup in effect when you powered off the oscilloscope.
First, you need to create an instrument setup you want to save. Perform the
following steps to create and save a setup that is complex enough that you might
prefer not to go through all these steps each time you want that display:
1. If you are not continuing from the previous example, follow the instructions
on page 2–9 under the heading Setting Up for the Examples.
2. Press SETUP ➞ Recall Factory Setup (main) ➞ OK Confirm Factory
Init (side).
3. Press ➞ AUTOSET.
4. Press MEASURE ➞ Select Measrmnt (main) ➞ Frequency (side). (Press
the –more– side menu item if the Frequency selection does not appear in
the side menu.)
5. Press CH 2 ➞ CLEAR MENU.
6. Press SAVE/RECALL SETUP ➞ Save Current Setup (main) to display
the Setup main menu. (See Figure 2–18.)
CAUTION. Setup locations in the side menu appear with the label user if they
contain a stored setup or with the label factory if they do not. To avoid overwrit-
ing (and losing forever) a saved setup, choose a setup location labeled factory.
(Setup locations labeled factory have the factory setup stored as a default and
can be used to store current setups without disturbing previously stored setups.)
