Saving Readings to a File
You can save readings to a file by selecting Save or Save As from the File menu. If the data has not been saved already, or you selected Save As, you will be prompted for a filename to save the readings to. All of the data will be saved, irrespective of the grouping settings or the current selection. ThermoCheck data files typically have a .tcf extension.
You can view data files at a later date by selecting Open from the File menu. This will launch the Open dialog box, which will allow you to specify a filename, or locate a file on your computer’s hard disk or a network. The software will only open files of the ThermoCheck data format (usually with a
.tcf extension). You can view and print data that has been saved to a file in the same ways as data downloaded from the ThermoCheck directly, in graph or list format.
