Sorry, I meant to say regardless of the file type (psd or psdata)
all the best

I've done some more tests on this and the difference in behaviour seems to be only apparent if the scope is not connected. In version 5, (or in version 6 when opening the earlier version files such as the help files (psd)) the settings are made on opening a file whether the scope is connected or not...

Hello. Thanks for the reply What scope are you currently using? I have a 3423 and an older 2 channel (I've used Pico tools for many years), but use the 3423 mostly now. How are you opening these files? If it's a file sent to me or one I'm downloading from a forum etc, then I'll usually double click ...

In version 5 and before, saving a waveform would also save the scope settings, but unless I'm missing something this behaviour seems to be missing from version 6 Could this behaviour be made an option (perhaps as a third file type combining the data and settings) as I think it was a great advantage ...
