File Management
File Management - Procedures
This section provides information on saving and recalling instrument states, log
files, patterns, and screenshots.
You can save the files on the local disk. Note that the local disk must not be re-
partitioned in a Windows 2000 environment.
You can also plug an USB stick into the rear of the instrument for saving and
recalling files. No driver is required because Windows has a built-in driver that
supports USB memory drives. In the file browser, you can access the USB stick via
the Removable Disk drive.
To avoid loss of data, stop the USB device and wait until the LED light of the USB
stick is off before unplugging the USB stick.
To avoid loss of data when removing the USB stick:
1
Minimize the GUI.
2
In the system tray, next to the clock in the lower right corner, right-click the
Safely Remove Hardware icon.
A window containing a list of the USB devices appears.
3
Click on the popup message Safely Remove Mass Storage Device.
4
Confirm the acknowledgement message Save to remove hardware....
5
Check that the LED light of the USB stick is off and unplug the USB stick.
Saving Instrument States
Saving the current instrument state stores all the setup parameters for the
instrument's hardware and software.
To save the setup with the current filename and directory path, do the following:
• In the File menu, click Save and then Save Instrument State.... The current
instrument state will be immediately saved.
To save the setup with a new filename or directory path, do the following:
• In the File menu, click Save and then Save Instrument State As.... This opens
a dialog box, which allows you to create subdirectories, rename setup files, or
overwrite existing setup files.
