Saving Data
Selecting the File icon from the toolbar provides options for saving data files or configurations.
|
●
|
Save Configuration—saves the current setup values as a Preset. To open a saved Preset, select Preset from the main menu, see Presets. |
|
●
|
Save Single Frame—saves the data currently on the screen only. |
|
●
|
Save All Frames—saves the current screen plus all the data stored in the buffer. |
When either selection (Save Single Frame or Save All Frames) is made the data stored in buffer memory is written to a file. Saving data files is useful when trying to isolate an intermittent problem or to verify a repair during a road test. The saved file can be played back (similar to a movie clip) by selecting Data Manager > Scope Multimeter Data Folder. See Viewing Saved Files for additional information.
