Open File
Press the RIGHT arrow when “Open” is highlighted on the display to get the unit into the open files
mode. The top line of the screen will read “Open” on the left, and File on the right. Filenames are
listed on the left and the file size is listed in the right column.
The default file on the instrument is File01. Data will be saved into File01 unless another file is
created and opened. Data can be appended to the end of a file, so files that were previously used can
be re-opened.

numbers or a zero for the file size can be opened to save data too.
