Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program having instructions for storing information in an oscilloscope is provided. The method comprises the steps of storing a screen display in a predetermined format, storing one or more configuration settings associated with the screen display, and storing in memory channel acquisition data associated with the stored screen display. The screen display may also be annotated, the annotation information being stored as well. The stored screen display, one or more associated configuration settings, and stored channel acquisition data, and annotation data, if applicable, may be loaded into the oscilloscope, thereby placing the oscilloscope in the state it was in when the stored data was originally generated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating data are provided. The method comprises the steps of acquiring waveform data, performing one or more measurements on the waveform data to generate measurement data, applying a filter to the generated measurement data and generating a histogram in accordance with the filtered measurement data. One or more rarest values from the histogram are designated in accordance with the filtered measurement data, and an additional filter is generated in accordance with the one or more designated rarest values. The additional filter is applied to the generated measurement data.
