Filename: Name of data file.
Format: File saved as an Excel ( .TXT ) or Binary ( .IOT ) format.

Auto Re-arm (for ChartView Plus only)
Auto Re-arm is a feature available with ChartView Plus . As seen in the previous figure, Auto Re-arm
is accessed from the Data Destination box. The Auto Re-arm feature allows for a large number of
acquisitions to take place automatically, with each acquisition using the same configuration settings.
With Auto Re-arm, the system immediately re-arms itself, waiting for the trigger to be satisfied, as soon
as the previous trigger block is terminated.
