To save waveform data to a new file name, push File (bottom)!Save As
(pop–up)!OK (side). The instrument opens the Input Filename dialog box, shown
in Figure 2-16. Use this dialog box to enter a file name. If necessary, you can select
a storage media or directory by pushing the Drive... side menu button. Enter the file
name, then push the ENTER front–panel button to close the dialog box and save
the file.
If you are saving a file with a record length larger than 960 data points and the
record is not evenly divisible by four, the instrument needs to adjust the record
length to meet internal memory record length requirements. The instrument
displays one of the messages shown in Table 2-6. You can push the OK side button
to accept the recommended change, or cancel the save and then edit the file to
satisfy the data record length requirements.
Archive, Extract
To archive or extract files, do the following steps.

Message Description
Leave as it is The data is saved, as it is, without making changes. The instrument will
display an error message if you try to load a file that does not meet the
instrument waveform constraints.
Append 0 With Level–0 data added after the data, a file with a data length meeting
the requirements is created.
Expand With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirements is created.
Expand with Clock With the waveform data expanded, a file with a data length meeting the
requirements is created. In addition, the clock frequency increases without
change in scaling factor. The settings are saved in the file.
Repeat With repetitions of the original data linked, a file with a data length meeting
the requirements is created. If the total length of the linked data exceeds
16M/32M (option 01) points, this will cause an error.
