12.3 [Data], [Print Test Data]
[Data] , [Print Test Data] is used to print unformatted Data Files (see Section 16 to create reports from
Data Files).
When [Data] , [Print Test Data] is selected, a standard Windows file browser appears set to the default
Data File directory (see Section 18.3). Selecting a file causes the standard Windows print function to
open allowing the file to be printed with any printer that is set up.
Data Files may also be printed from within [View Test Data] by clicking on the printer icon.
12.4 [Data], [Plot Data File]
[Data] , [Plot Data File] is used to generate error plots of DUT and reference flow information stored in
Data Files (*.dat). The plots generated may be viewed and/or printed. This function is useful to quickly
analyze data. The plots may also be selected for inclusion in
COMPASS reports (see Section 16).
Calculations used to produce data plots are documented in Section 19.4.
When [Data] , [Plot Data File] is selected, a standard Windows file browser appears set to the directory
that holds the Data Files. Selecting a file causes the <Plot> screen to appear loaded with an error plot
generated using the data from the Data File.
