NetScan User’s Manual ChartView Software Reference 4-17
File Menu NoteWhen ChartView is started for the very first time there is no default channel configuration file. In this
case a ChartView Startup dialog box appears, providing you with the following four choices: Retry,
Select Device, Load File, and Exit Program. After choosing Select Device a Select Interface dialog
box appears, allowing you to choose IEEE 488, RS-232/422, Network, or Simulated Instrument.
For ethernet operation, “Network” must be selected as the device interface.
Note: NetScan devices can not make use of the IEEE 488 selection.
After the selection has been made, when ChartView is shutdown, the selected interface device and all
channel configuration settings will be automatically saved in a default configuration file. Upon the
next start of ChartView, the default configuration is automatically loaded.
If the default configuration becomes corrupt, or if you would like to bypass the default configuration
when starting ChartView, you can hold down the Shift Key when starting ChartView. This causes the
program to ignore the default channel configuration settings and causes the ChartView Startup dialog
box to appear. This allows you to select Load File to make use of a specified channel configuration
file from a previously saved configuration.
