Screen appearance
The graphic display can be set to one of three colour schemes, ‘Oscilloscope’, ‘White
paper’ or ‘Black screen’, by selecting
Set graph colours
from the
Meter
menu. The
selection will be recalled the next time the program is run.
Saving a waveform
The displayed waveform can be saved by selecting
Save graphic screen
from the
Meter menu. The waveform may be saved as an image or as data.
Saving a waveform as an image
You may choose one of three file types:
Bitmap (*.bmp)
Portable network graphics (*.png)
JPEG (*jpg)
The bitmap file is uncompressed and hence is quite bulky, but is accepted by a wide
variety of software tools. The PNG file is compressed and is generally the most
compact way of representing this kind of image. The JPEG file is also compressed,
but the technique results in some blurring, so is only recommended if you are using a
program that will only accept JPEGs.
