3.1 

FILE:  SAVE DATA (SHORTCUT:  CTRL+S) 

When save is invoked, the contents of the display box are saved into a text based data file.  If this option 
is selected after a calibration check or recalibration, a default file name is created based on the  
Year + Julian Day + V (or I based on last mode) and a run increment.  The default extension depends on 
the information being saved.  If a calibration check was performed and the user selects save,  
the extension is “.chk” but if a recalibration is saved, the extension is “.cal”.  Files that are viewed and 
re-saved default to their original filename.  The increment will always start at 1 and increase if multiple 
files are saved on the same day.  The final name and destination of the file can always be modified.   
The option to save the file always automatically occurs at the end of a successful calibration.   
However, you may save the contents of the display at any time. 

3.2 

FILE:  PRINT FILE 

This option allows the printing of a selected calibration file to the default Windows printer. 

3.3 

FILE:  PRINT CURRENT DATA (SHORTCUT:  CTRL+P) 

Print Current Data will print the current contents of the display box without saving it to a file. 

3.4 

FILE:  VIEW FILE (SHORTCUT:  CTRL+F) 

Any text based file can be viewed in the main display box with this option.  Its purpose is to view previous 
calibration files and configuration (.cfg) files. 

3.5 

TEST:  CHECK MOLBOX CALIBRATION 

A Calibration Check should be performed anytime the circuit is in question. It is a means of verifying the 
circuit in its current state.  The procedure for checking a calibration is described in Section 2.2.  The Current 
mode option is unsupported in the old style molbox1.  As a result, it is disabled when calibrating one of 
these units. 

3.6 

TEST:  RECALIBRATE MOLBOX 

This option should be selected to update the calibration coefficients of molbox1.  The procedure for verifying 
the calibration is described in more detain in Section 2.3.  As with the previous option, the Current (mA) 
mode option is unsupported in the old style molbox1 therefore the Current mode option is disabled when 
calibrating one of these units.
