Using the TDS2MEM Storage Memory and
Communications Module
The TDS2MEM Storage Memory and Communications module adds
removable Type 1 CompactFlash (CF) card storage memory, RS-232
remote programming capability, and RS-232 and Centronics printer
output connectivity to your TDS1000- or TDS2000-Series
oscilloscope.
NOTE. This module is not compatible with TDS200-Series
oscilloscopes.
Installing the Module
See the TDS200-, TDS1000- and TDS2000-Series Extension Module
Installation sheet for module installation instructions. The following
illustration identifies the TDS2MEM module output ports.

Installing and Removing the CompactFlash Card
Insert a Type 1 CompactFlash card into the slot until the card is flush
with the module case, as shown below. The CF card is keyed to be
inserted only one way. If the CF card does not easily slide into place,
remove and correctly reinsert it.
To remove the CompactFlash card, push and release the eject button
until the button fully extends, then push the eject button again to
release the CF card from the slot. Pull the CF card out of the
module slot.

CompactFlash Card Initial Read Time
The TDS2MEM reads a CF card's internal structure every time you
insert a CF card. The time to complete the read depends on the size of
the CF card and how it was formatted. To significantly shorten the
initial read time of 64 MB and larger CF cards used in the TDS2MEM
module, format the CF card using the TDS2MEM format function
(UTILITY
File Utilities Format).
Formatting a CompactFlash Card
1. Insert a CF card into the module.
2. Push the UTILITY front panel button.
3. Select the File Utilities menu option.
4. Select the More menu option to display menu page 2.
5. Select the Format menu option.
6. Select the Yes menu option to format the CF card. Formatting
deletes all data on the CF card.
CompactFlash Card Capacities
The following are the approximate number of files, by type, that you
can store per 1 MB of CF card memory.
5 Save All operations (see Saving Information Using the PRINT
Button on page 5)
16 screen image files (actual capacity depends on the selected
image format) (see Saving a Screen Image to a File on page 7)

250 oscilloscope setting (.set) files (see Saving Oscilloscope
Settings on page 8)

File Management Conventions
The oscilloscope checks for available space on the CompactFlash
card before writing files, and displays a warning message if there
is not enough memory for the files you are writing.
The term folder as used in this manual refers to a directory location
on the CF card.
The default file save or recall location is the current folder.
The root folder is A:\.
The oscilloscope resets the current folder to A:\ when powering on
the instrument, or when inserting a CF card after the oscilloscope
is powered on.
File names can have one to eight characters, followed by a period,
followed with an extension of one to three characters.
Long file names created on PC operating systems are displayed
using the operating system's shortened file name.
File names are upper case.

Key Points
Saves All To Files. Setting the Print Button to Saves All To Files is a
fast and easy way to save all of the current oscilloscope information
to files with a single button push. Pushing the PRINT button creates a
new folder and saves the following information in separate files in that
new folder, using the current instrument and file format settings, as
listed in the following table:
.CSV Files. CSV (comma-separated value) files contain ASCII text
string that lists the time (relative to the trigger) and voltage values for
each of the 2500 waveform data points. You can import .csv files into
many spreadsheet and math analysis applications.
Screen Image Files. You can import screen image files into many
spreadsheet and word processing applications. The type of image file
you can import depends on you application.
.SET files. SET files contain an ASCII text string listing of the
oscilloscope settings.

CH(x) FnnnnCHx.CSV, where nnnn is an automatically-
generated number, and x is the channel number.
