For example, suppose you want to save a picture of a spectrum trace each time you adjust a circuit to
document how the adjustments affect the output of the circuit. The
fi rst time you want to save a picture of
the display, you will need to select Save As. From the Save As dialog box, you specify the type of data
you want to save (Picture of Selected Display) and specify the location of the saved
fi le. As long as the
Save and Export option (see page 24) is set to automatically name saved fi les, the next time you want to
save a picture of the display, you can just press Save on the front panel and a picture of the selected display
will be saved without requiring you to type a
fi le name or the location of the fi le to be saved.
