EDIT Menu

Saving Files and Exiting the Editor

The three waveform items (Waveform1, Waveform2 and Waveform3) will be displayed in the side menu. You will select the waveform to be edited from these items.

11.Select Waveform2 from the side menu. A box will appear around the editing area to indicate that this waveform has been selected.

To close a waveform, once again select that Waveform from the side menu and then select Close/Write from the bottom menu. See ªSaving Files and Exiting the Editorº in this section.

When you select Close/Write from the bottom menu, the newly created or edited file currently selected in the side menu will be saved to the instrument's internal memory and the waveform editor will disappear.

NOTE. The procedure for saving files and exiting the editor is the same for all editors. The only difference is that the Close/Write item in the waveform editor changes to Exit/Write in the other editor. (The word ªCloseº is used in the waveform editor because more than one waveform is opened in this editor.)

Select Close/Write from the bottom menu to display a side menu containing Write and Close, Close without Writing, and Write menu items. These functions are explained next.

Write and Close. When a new file is created, if you select Write and Close, a menu for naming the file is displayed. Input the file name, then select O.K. from the sub-menu. The file is saved into internal memory with that name and the system returns to the initial menu. If Cancel is selected, the input file name is canceled and the system returns to the editor.

When you exit the editor after editing an existing file and you select Write and Close, the menu for naming the file is not displayed. Instead, the system immediately returns to the initial menu and the file created in internal memory is saved with the existing file name.

Close without Writing. When this item is selected, the system returns to the initial menu without saving the created or edited file to internal memory. In this case, a message asking you if it is ok to erase the created data is displayed on the CRT screen. Reply O.K. or Cancel.

Write. When Write is selected, the file name menu is displayed. If you input or change the file name, then select the sub-menu O.K. item, the created or edited waveform data is saved into internal memory with that file name and the system returns to the editor it has been in. If the file name is changed, the old file is left
