store
Store allows you to store waveforms , the color graded database , the pixel
memory , front-panel setups , or a mask to the disk. Files are stored to the root
directory only , and the appropriate extension is automatically appended to
the le name . The le extensions are listed below .
.W A V for internal waveforms .
.WDB for databases .
.TXT for text waveforms .
.PIX for pixel memories .
.SET for front-panel setups .
.MSK for masks .
The .PCL, .TIF , .GIF , and .PCX le extensions are used by the Setup Print
menu.
Use the knob , arrow keys , or keypad to scroll through the directory listing of
the disk; or press the T o File softkey to enter a le name . Pressing the T o File
softkey displays another softkey menu that allows you to enter a le name .
When you execute the Store function, the instrument stores the information
to whichever le name is listed under the T o File softkey . If the le already
exists on the disk, you are prompted to press the Continue key before the
le on the disk is overwritten. Y ou can either press the Continue key to
overwrite the le , or you can press the T o File softkey and enter a new le
name . After the le is written to the disk, the le listing on the display is
updated.
When you set the type as waveform, an additional softkey is available that
allows you to select among the internal, text verbose , or text Y values
formats . The text format makes it easy to transfer les to personal computer
applications . The internal format maximizes the use of disk space , and allows
for a higher waveform transfer rate to and from the disk.
Setup les are about 10 Kbytes in size and pixel les are about 15 Kbytes in
size . However , the size of waveform les depends on the type of format, the
setup of the instrument, and the waveform source . A blank high-density disk
