Scope Rider: Save of a reference waveform to file with remote commands

Description

I want to save a reference waveform to file with remote commands. What is the correct SCPI sequence?

Resolution

Here is an example with explanations:

TRIG:MODE SING
--> start a single acquisition
*OPC?
--> wait until the acquisition has been finished
REFC:UPD
--> creates the reference waveform from the last acquisition
REFC:NAME '/media/SD/Rohde-Schwarz/RTH/ReferenceCurves/test.csv\x00'
--> defines the path and file name of the reference waveform (will be stored on the internal SD card)
--> or..
REFC:NAME '/media/USB1/test.csv\x00'
--> correct path to save the reference waveform to an USB stick
(just use one of the above SCPI commands)
REFC:SAVE
--> saves the reference waveform
