6.2 Waveforms
In addition to references, the waveform data can be stored only
on external USB sticks, not internally.
– HAMEG Binary format:
A binary data set may contain bytes of any length. The curves
will be stored without any time information.
– CSV (Comma Separated Values):
CSV data sets store the curves in tables, the lines are se-
parated by commas.
– TXT data sets store the trace data in a comma separated
list. These data sets differ from CSV files, due to the absense
of tabstops and carriage returns.
In order to store waveforms, push the key SAVE/RECALL and
select in the main menu the item TRACES by pushing the
respective softmenu key.

data manager will appear with the associated menu. Here, a
listing of destinations can be selected or generated. Confirm

indicated by the blue background.
Pushing the menu key next to FILE NAME will open the menu
for entering names: in order to do this first push the CURSOR/
SELECT key, then use this menu and the universal knob to enter
the desired name which will be stored by pushing ACCEPT. This
will recall again the menu for storing waveforms. Now push the
soft key FORMAT, this will open a window for selecting the for-
mat. The selection is performed again with the universal knob.
Additionally, a commentary can be stored along with a curve.
This is done by pushing the menu key next to COMMENTARY, this
