Configure LabNotebook Preferences

To configure the behavior of the LabNotebook tool, on the menu bar, choose

File

→

Lab Notebook

, then

touch the

Preferences

tab.

Select/deselect the following options:

Prompt for Report Title Before Saving

opens the LabNotebook dialog when a new entry is created. You can

elect to name notebook entries using only the date/timestamp by leaving this box unchecked.

Annotate Report Before Saving

opens the Drawing Toolbar to annotate a notebook entry as soon as it is

created.

Save Report When Hardcopy Pressed

configures the Front Panel print button to create a new notebook

entry whenever it is pressed.

Use Print Colors

outputs waveforms on a white background. The

print colors

used for each trace are set

Utilities > Preferences Setup > Colors

. This option helps save ink/toner when printing reports.

Hardcopy Area

determines how much of the screen image is included in the report: grid area only, grid

area plus dialog, whole screen. Touch the field and choose from the pop-up menu.

Attach Setup & Waveforms

attaches these files for each trace in the report: waveform data (.trc), a screen

dump (.png), oscilloscope setup file (.lss), report template file (.xsl), and export record (.htm).

Optionally, touch the

Configure E-Mail

button to set the recipient address and server information on the

Preferences E-mail dialog.

Print to NoteBook Entry

The Front Panel Print button can be configured to capture the display and create a new Notebook Entry.
This is a convenient way to create new Notebook Entries as you work.

NOTE

: The File menu Print option will continue to use whatever method you have set on the Utillities

Hardcopy tab when invoked. Go to Utilities > Utilities Preferences > Hardcopy to make that selection.

To configure the Print button for Notebook Entries, go to
