You can take screenshots and record entire EIT measurements (EIT data).
For creating screenshots, insert a USB flash drive into one of the side USB 
ports in the C500 monitor. After pressing the key  ›Export Screenshot‹ the  
current view will be transferred directly onto the flash drive. If you want to make 
sure that a specific image is captured you can freeze the image by using the 
function ›Freeze display‹. A recording of EIT files (option ADAP required) is 
possible with the following options:

 

     

The recording file length is between 30 s and 10 min. To record, press the 
button ›Record‹. You can cancel the recording at any time by pressing this 
button again. The recorded files can be analyzed by using the function 
›Data Review‹ or by loading them as a simulation file. Via the menu ›Data 
recording 

     

/File handling‹, the data can be deleted or transferred to a USB 

flash  drive.  In  the  menu  ›File‹  the  free  hard  disk  space  as  well  as  the 
available USB storage space is indicated.
