Drop-Down Tabs
1. The ‘File’, ‘Setup’, 'View, 'Current Readings', and ‘Help’ tabs:
a. File
i. New Chart. This creates an empty chart with an additional tab to the right
of any already displayed tabs. The tab and chart description can be
changed by double clicking on the tab and typing the new name in the text
box. Multiple charts each with its own tab can be created.
ii. Open Chart. This command allows the user to open a file previously
saved and stored on a computer. You will be prompted for a file name.
Only files with a file extension of TXV can be opened.
Note: It is not possible to load the same file into more than one chart
or to change any part of a file displayed in TView.
iii. Save Chart. This saves the active chart to your computer
.
The saved
chart will be encrypted and have a TXV suffix. It is encrypted with the
username and password you entered when the program was opened.
iv. Export Chart to .XLS. This exports all charts shown on the active tab to
an XLS file that can be opened with Microsoft's Excel. Each chart will be
transferred to a separate tab on the Excel chart. It is possible to change
this data in Excel.
v. Print Chart. Sends the active chart to a printer. If there is more than one
plot on the chart, you should use a color printer so you can tell the plots
apart from each other. The chart looks better in landscape mode that
portrait mode.
vi. Close chart. This immediately erases the selected chart and deletes it from
your computer.
vii. Run in System Tray. This minimized the TView program and moves it to
the background. This is useful if you are in auto-download mode and
want to leave the program running without having it on your desktop.
viii.
Exit. This closes the program and stops any further activity.
