On the SWEEPLESS 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”.
