Viewing Catalogs and Saving Files
File Menu Functions
This chapter describes how to use the functions located under the
front-panel
File key. Data storage and retrieval are handled similarly to
that of personal computers (PCs). Like PCs, these analyzers include an
internal storage drive and a floppy disk drive, both of which have
directory and sub-directory capability.
You will learn how to do all of the following:
• locate and view files in the catalog
• save a file
• load a file
• rename a file
• copy a file
• delete a file
NOTE The display examples in this book are made using various analyzer
models, you may see some variations depending upon your analyzer.
Locating and viewing files in the catalog
Techniques for locating files and directories are consistent throughout
the various file menu functions. Although this section provides specific
information about navigation in the catalog, you may wish to refer back
to this section when performing other operations of the file menu.
NOTE Trace files are not bitmap files. Files saved as Trace cannot be imported
into other applications or converted. If you require the use of other
applications, for example Microsoft® Word or Microsoft® Excel, be sure
to save your files as .gif or .wmf formats using
Screen for your file Type.
Comma separated value (csv) files can also be imported into Microsoft®
Excel.
