Chapter 5 Software Tools Program

Saving a Plot as a Windows Metafile or as a Spreadsheet File

Plots can be saved as Windows metafile (.wmf) or as a text file (.txt). The metafile may be imported into graphic programs and a text file can be imported into a spreadsheet program, but they cannot be reloaded into the Site Master Software Tools program.

To save a plot as a Windows Metafile, click on File, in the top menu bar, and select Save as Metafile from the drop down menu.

To save a plot as a text file to use in a spreadsheet, click on File in the top menu bar and se- lect Export to text file for Spreadsheet from the drop down menu.

Pasting a Plot in Graphic or Spreadsheet For- mat

The data points from a plot can be exported to a graphic application or a spreadsheet via the clipboard. To transfer data to the Windows clipboard:

Step 1. Select Settings and Clipboard Format from the top menu bar and pull-down menu and choose either graphical or tabular format.

Step 2. Capture or load the desired plot.

Step 3. Copy the data to the clipboard by selecting the Copy Plot Data icon or Copy from the Edit menu.

Step 4. To paste to a graphic application, open the application and select Paste from the application’s Edit menu.

Step 5. To paste to a spreadsheet, open the spreadsheet program and place the cursor where the first data point should appear.

Step 6. Select Paste from the spreadsheet program’s Edit menu.

Saving Data to a Database

Plots can be saved to a database. Comments can be added to the plot data saved. Queries of the database provide a means of comparing plots in the database. Refer to the on-line help screens for operating instructions.

To save a plot to a database, click on File, in the top menu bar, and select Save Plot to Da- tabase from the drop-down menu.

“Drag-n-Drop”

Site Master Software Tools is Windows based. Graphs can “Drag-n-Drop” onto each other. Site Master Software Tools allows quick comparison of “before” and “after” Distance-To- Fault measurements. Recent data is compared to a historical PC database record, which is usually recorded during site installation/commissioning.
