If you enter another name, the R&S
FPC uses that name and assigns a new num-

you want to save a dataset.
You can enter the file name with the alphanumeric keypad. Each key covers more

appropriate number of times.

Changing the default directory to store data
The R&S

type. For example, the R&S
FPC automatically stores screenshots in the
\Public\Screen Shots\

directory, and so on.
If you prefer to store all your data, regardless of file type, in a custom directory, you can
change the default directory.

2. Select the "User Preferences" menu item.
3. Select the "Working Directory" menu item.
