can save your test setup parameters in
files so that they can be recalled prior to
performing a test. This makes it possible
for measurements to be made without
requiring detailed knowledge about the measurement parameters. And, it
saves time because parameters do not have to be reentered. The

extension is automatically added to the filename.
