• Toolbar
• Status  Bar
• TRX Options

The TRX Options window appears (Figure A.32). Its options 
include:

• Autosave Enabled 

For a TDR9000,

 

causes the computer running TRXField to 

automatically save the Test Results to the last directory 
accessed.

• Display Time in Cycles

Displays time in cycles by default rather than in milliseconds. 
This can be changed temporarily when viewing results.

•

50 Hz System

 

Calculates Test Results based on 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz 
(default).

• Automatic Print Orientation

Automatically prints graphics in landscape format; Test Plans 
and Tabulated format Test Results are printed in portrait 
format.

• Default Test Recording Length

Sets the user-preferred length for recording. This also 
implicitly sets the sampling rate. This is the default and can be 
change elsewhere in the program for individual instances.

• Report Language

Sets the default language for use on the Tabulation tab. This 
also dictates what language is used for printing. This is the 
default and can be change elsewhere in the program for 
individual instances.

•

Pass/Fail tabulation text

 

Enables the use of words other than 

Pass

 and 

Fail

 to rate Test 

Results. If these fields are blank, then they are also blank in 
the 

compare

 fields when viewing Test Results in the Tabulated 

format.
