On the SWEEP screen, press the FILE softkey to display menu options.
NOTE: To assure exact measurement recording of current display, always
pause (SHIFT 8) measurement updates before saving or printing a
measurement file.
Use the arrow keys to choose the menu item you prefer and press ENTER
to make your selection.
FILE menu options include:
Save Reference
Saves the current measurement as a reference file.
Save File
Saves the current measurement as a static measurement file.
Load Reference
Proceeds to a work folder associated with reference files. From the work
folder you are allowed to select a desired file and display it on the
screen as a reference. NOTE: This
feature allows you to display the difference of the live data and the
data stored in the file.
NOTE: Since a reference file is essentially an average of the data
obtained from four previous sweeps, enough traces need to have accumulated
before a file can be saved and used as a reference file. Thus, when the
forward sweep screen is accessed for the first time, the subtitle bar
initially displays a cross in place of the reference file name. Once enough
traces have accumulated "REF: NONE" is displayed.
When a reference file has been chosen for display, the name of the reference
file appears in the subtitle bar in place of 'REF: NONE'.
The maximum length of the file names is 12 characters.
Load File
Loads a file as a static measurement file.
Clear Reference
Clears the current reference file from the sweep measurement display. Reference file is displayed as "REF: NONE".
