Using Memory, Printer, and PC

Introduction

This chapter explains how to save screens and data into the Analyzer’s memory and how to view, rename and delete them.

The second part of the chapter explains how to setup the Analyzer for communication with a PC, laptop, and printer.

Note: the Analyzer also has memories to store setups. How to change, save, and recall setups is explained in Chapter 20 Setup.

Using memory

The Analyzer has three ways of storing measuring results into memory:

1.A copy of the current screen can be stored. Symbol for screenshots:

2.The complete dataset belonging to the current measurement can be saved. A dataset includes all data belonging to the measurement. This allows you to view and analyze all screens belonging to the measurement, and to use Cursor and Zoom. Symbol for datasets:

3.The Logger function in Fluke 435 (optional in Fluke 434) also requires memory to store data. The amount of memory for Logging and for screenshots/datasets (Memory) is user definable. How to configure this is explained in Chapter 20, USER PREFerences. The Logger function is explained in Chapter 17.

Memory Configuration gives the following space for screenshots and datasets:

-8 MB Memory: 10 datasets + 50 screenshots.

-4 MB Memory: 5 datasets + 25 screenshots.

-1 MB Memory: 1 dataset + 15 screenshots.
