The session manager
You are very likely to perform all kind off measurements, make
changes to your design, redo the same measurements, comparing
them to previous ones, and so on. The
Session Manager gives
you a very handy tool for this.
A session may consist of various measurements in one project, or
of a standard measurement used in several projects. In fact a
Session consists of a file on hard disk, where you can save and
recall data and settings.
Each measurement you perform you can name and save to the
Session List and recall later by double clicking on it the Session
List. All data of the measurement is stored, including
measurement data, calibration data, measurement setup, sweep
and parameters, graphs and zoom, markers and match circuits.
Saving to the session list
Saving a recently made measurement to the open session list is done by clicking the Save
As-button . This opens a window where you can enter the measurement-name. Note: this
is NOT the file name of the session, de measurements are not saved to hard disk until you
save the Session. Choose a (new) name for the measurement and press
OK or Enter . De
new measurement will now appear in the session list. Please also note that the name you
give to a measurement in the list does necessarily need to be unique. You can use the same
name several times; their difference will be the time stamp.
If you want to overwrite a measurement, first delete it from the list and then use Save As
to store the newer measurement. Select it from the list, perform the new measurement and
press the
Save-button .
You can change appearance on the screen of a saved measurement, like inserting markers
in the plots and then store it back again. To do so, use the
Save-button .
Saving the session
Do not forget to save the Session to disk before exiting the program. To do this press the
diskette-icon to overwrite or the icon to the right to choose for a new file on disk. (a file
dialogue box will appear).
