Making Measurements
Using Test Sequencing
• If you do not have an attached DIN keyboard, press and turn the
front panel knob to point to the characters of the new file name, pressing
as you stop at each character.
The analyzer cannot accept a title (file name) that is longer than eight characters. Your
titles must also begin with a letter, and contain only letters and numbers.
3. To complete the titling, press .
Naming Files Generated by a Sequence
The analyzer can automatically increment the name of a file that is generated by a
sequence using a loop structure. (See example "Loop counter decision making" on page
1-115.)
To access the sequence file name menu, press:
•
•
•
This menu presents two choices:
• supplies a name for the saved state or data file. This also brings
up the Title File Menu.
• supplies a name for the plot file generated by a plot-to-disk
command. This also brings up the Title File Menu.
These keys show the current file name in the 2nd line of the softkey.
When titling a file for use in a loop function, you are restricted to only 2 characters in the
file name due to the 6 character length of the loop counter keyword “[LOOP].” When the
file is actually written, the [LOOP] keyword is expanded to only 5 ASCII characters
(digits), resulting in a 7 character file name.
After entering the 2 character file name, press:
Storing a Sequence on a Disk
1. To format a disk, refer to Chapter 4 , “Printing, Plotting, and Saving Measurement
Results.”
2. To save a sequence to the internal disk, press:
and select the particular sequence softkey.
The disk drive access light should turn on briefly. When it goes out, the sequence has
been saved.
CAUTION The analyzer will overwrite a file on the disk that has the same title.
