more controls are available. Regardless, the controls are used as explained
in the following steps.

2. Touch inside the Source control and select a source from the Select

Source pop-up. The source can be any trace; for example, a channel
(C1–C4), math function (F1–F4), or a waveform stored in non-volatile
RAM (M1–M4).

3. Destination - Click to show the available memory traces when saving

to memory.

4. Touch inside the Trace Title data entry control to change the default

name of your waveforms (if desired).

Note

: You can change the name but not the sequence number.

CAUTION. If you use a name ending with a number instead
of a letter, the instrument may truncate the number. This is
because, by design, the first waveform is automatically

numbered 0, the second 1, and onward. For example, if you want to
use waveform name XYZ32 but it is not preceded by waveforms XYZ0
through XYZ31, the waveform is renumbered with the next in
sequence. If you need to use a number in your waveform's name,
append an alpha character at the end of the number: XYZ32a, for
example.

5. If you are saving to a file, touch the Data Format control and select a

format type.

Binary - saves the file to Teledyne LeCroy's binary file format.
This format is documented in various Remote Control
Manuals for Teledyne LeCroy Oscilloscopes. Selecting Binary
results in the smallest possible file size, and is recommended
when recalling waveforms to Teledyne LeCroy instruments.

Note

: Binary files can be converted to ASCII using Teledyne LeCroy

utilities such as

ScopeExplorer

or

WaveStudio

.
