NOTE. Upon power on, the oscilloscope creates the “wild card” file, marked in the
file utilities menu by the name TEK?????.SET and by a wild card icon as shown
on the left of this page, for storing setups. Selecting this file in step 3 stores a setup
in a uniquely named, sequentially numbered file. For instance, the oscilloscope
saves the first setup you save in the file TEK00001.SET, the second
in TEK00002.SET, and so on.
To recall a setup, do the following steps:
1. To recall a setup stored internally, press SAVE/RECALL SETUP Recall
Saved Setup (main) Recall Setup 1, Recall Setup 2 ... (side).
2. To recall a setup stored on disk, press From File (side). Then use the general
purpose knob to select the exact file from the resulting scrollbar list. Only
files with .set extensions will be displayed. Finally, press Recall From
Selected File (side) to complete the operation.
Recalling a setup will not change the menu that is currently displayed. If you recall
a setup that is labeled factory in the side menu, you will recall the factory setup.
(The conventional method for recalling the factory setup is described below.)
To reset your oscilloscope to the factory defaults:
Press SAVE/RECALL SETUP Recall Factory Setup (main) OK
Confirm Factory Init (side).
Sometimes you might use the oscilloscope to acquire waveforms that are
confidential. Furthermore, before returning the oscilloscope to general usage,
you might want to remove all such waveforms and any setups used to acquire
them. (Be sure you want to remove all waveforms and setups, because once they
are removed, you cannot retrieve them.) To use Tek Secure to remove all
reference setups and waveforms (does not affect mass storage disks):
Press SHIFT UTILITY System (main) Config (pop-up) Tek Secure
Erase Memory (main) OK Erase Setup & Ref Memory (side).
