Chapter 10 Saving/Loading Data & Managing Files
Waveform data or settings data saved to storage media can be loaded on the
instrument.
Furthermore, if you create a STARTUP.SET file for auto setup (⇒ p. 281), the
settings data can be loaded automatically from the storage media at power-on.
See "Creating a Settings File for Auto Setup" (⇒ p. 281)

Multiple setting states can be stored in the instrument and later reloaded. In the
same way, settings can also be automatically reloaded when power is turned on.
