Documenting
HDO4000 Oscilloscopes offer several ways to preserve and share data—such as print, save to file, email, or save as Notebook Entry— any of which
can be associated with the front panel Print button.
Go to Utilities > Utilities Preferences > Hardcopy Setup to configure how the
oscilloscope handles the Print command. To make Print create a new Notebook
Entry, go to File > LabNotebook > Preferences and select Create Entry when
Hardcopy Pressed. Pressing Print captures an image of the display, which will then
be handled according to your chosen Print method.
Sending Data
If you have email set up on the oscilloscope, LabNotebook reports and other saved files can be sent directly from the instrument. They can also be
transferred to a USB drive through any of the host USB ports on the instrument. Use the Windows Explorer to transfer files from your save folder.
LabNotebook
The integrated LabNotebook tool lets you build reports containing waveform images and custom annotations right on the oscilloscope. You create
individual Notebook Entries as you work, which are saved to a resident database. When you choose File > LabNotebook, the LabNotebook dialog
opens showing all your Notebook entries. Choose which entries to export, the report file format and the output location. You can also use the
LabNotebook Flashback feature to put the oscilloscope back to the exact state it was in when the Notebook Entry was saved. See the HDO4000
Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more information on using LabNotebook.
