Demo 4: Sharing TIA Data
A powerful feature of Microsoft Windows is the ability to share or “cut and
paste” data and graphics between various applications. The HP E1741A
takes advantage of this feature allowing you to easily share TIA data and
graphics with other applications such as spreadsheets (Lotus, Excel, etc.),
word processors, and other computational packages such as MathCad.
In addition, you can save data to files which can be accessed by programs
you write in C, BASIC, etc.
This demonstration will show how easy it is to share the HP E1741A
graphics’ plots and data with a word processor, such as the Windows’
“WordPad” application.
Sharing Graphics
1 Select File>Use saved data.
2 Open the demo subdirectory and click on the file “d-to-d.tid.”
3 Click the OK button.
4 Select Display>Histogram.
You have retrieved the data-to-data histogram you saw in Demo 1.
Suppose you want to integrate this data with a report or your lab
notebook.
5 Select Edit>Copy.
You have now copied the active window in the HP E1741A to the
Windows’ Clipboard.
