Saving Instrument Data
When you save data to a file, the analyzer automatically selects a file
name for you. Since these names may not be as descriptive as desirable,
you may change the name of the file after it has been saved, or you can
save it to a file name of your choice by using the
function. See
“Other File Utilities” on page 4-63
for information on how
to change a file name. When saving a file using the
function, enter the file name in one of the following ways:
• Use an external keyboard connected to the analyzer's rear panel DIN
KEYBOARD connector and type in the filename. (For information on
using a keyboard, see
“Using a Keyboard” on page 4-83
• Press
. Use the front panel knob
and
key to point and select each character of the new
filename. Then press
.
