Select behavior to use for Store Data to Memory operations:
• Use specified location – Allows user to select a particular memory location to which the data is to be stored. A dialog box will displayed every time “Stored Data to Memory” is selected.
• Use last used memory location (default) – Saves the data to the last saved memory location (the location with the same number as the active trace).
• Increment memory location on each save – Saves the data in the next available memory location in an incremental order, beginning with the last used location for that trace. Note that when the 20 locations have been used, the oldest stored information will be overwritten and the saving will continue cyclically.
