File & Help Menu
When the File & Help menu key is pressed, soft keys for saving the current trace,
selecting the utility option, activating the logging feature, and accessing help
features are enabled. A trace is saved as a file and stored in the internal memory
of the instrument. Using the PCTool utility that is supplied on the CD that ships
with the SignalHawk, stored files can be copied or moved from the internal
memory to an external storage device (e.g PC, thumbdrive, etc.).

time file naming format: Measurement name(MM-DD HH-MM-SS).shf. Where
the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour, the second MM is the
minute, and SS is the second of the time when the file was saved.

copying and/or moving stored files from the internal memory to an external
storage device.
