Output Data Format and Extension
Data in the following formats can be saved to a specified storage medium. The
extension, which is added automatically, and the file size (reference value with half tone
OFF and no data compression) are also indicated.
Output Data Format
Extension
File Size
TIFF
.TIF
Approx. 38 KB (approx. 302 KB)
BMP
.BMP
Approx. 38 KB (approx. 302 KB)
PostScript
.PS
Approx. 78 KB
The value inside the parentheses is the file size when half tone is ON.
Half Tone (for TIFF and BMP formats)
On (Gray) is a tint of 16 gray levels; ON (Color) is 256 colors. No gradation is used for
OFF.
Entering a File Name or a Comment
• Enter a file name using up to 8 characters.
• Enter a comment using up to 25 characters. Comments are displayed at the upper
left corner of the screen and can be saved as a screen image.
• You cannot save to a file name that already exists in the same directory (overwriting
not allowed).
• The file name is common with other saved data, except the extension.
Compressing the Data (only when the data format is BMP)
For BMP format, data can be compressed using RLE and saved. However, data in BMP
format cannot be compressed if half one is OFF.
Auto Naming Function
When Auto Naming is turned ON, files with a three digit number from 000 to 499 are
automatically created when saving the screen image. A common name (up to five
characters, specified by File Name) is attached before the number.
Note
•
Screen images cannot be saved while measurement is in progress (while the START/STOP
indicator is illuminated).
•
When renaming a file (see section 11.9), you can specify the name using up to 25 characters.
However, if the number of characters excluding the extension exceeds 8, only the first 7
characters and the extension are displayed as in TA72000>.SET. The file name can be
confirmed using properties.
•
If waveforms are overlapped when outputting the screen image with half tone set to OFF or in
PostScript format, the waveform color on the screen changes temporarily.
