7 Store and recall instrument settings
Your spectrum analyzer can store three different kinds of data:
–
Instrument settings
–

Screen displays
Waveforms and screen displays can only be stored on USB
sticks. Instrument settings can be stored either on a USB stick
or in the instrument's non-volatile memories.
