LOAD/SAVE Menu

Saving Data in Text Format

When Save All is selected from the side menu, all the files in the internal memory are saved to the specified mass memory.

NOTE. When Save or Save All is executed, and there is already a file in the mass memory with the same name as a file to be saved, the system asks you if you want to replace the file now in mass memory with the one to be saved. Answer either O.K. or Cancel.

The Save as ASCII item appears in the side menu when an equation file (.EQU) has been selected from the list of files in internal memory and Disk has been selected for Device. Use this item to save the (binary format) data in the equation file in MS-DOS text format. Files saved in this manner are denoted by the extension .EQA after the file name. See page 3 -259 for further information on

.EQA files.

The following items are written to the data of files saved in text format:

When comments and waveform point sizes are written to .EQA files as noted above, these are reflected in the equation files (.EQU) created when the .EQA files are loaded into this instrument.
