9 To specify a filename for the data file, select the scope of type file. In the
right pane, enter a name in the
Filename parameter. While in the
parameter field, press
Enter to save the filename.
Note that there is no name initially assigned. If you do not specify a
filename, then after you start the scope, xPC Target assigns a name for the
target PC file to acquire the signal data. This name typically consists of the
scope object name,
ScopeId, and the beginning letters of the first signal
added to the scope.
10 Start the scope. For example, to start the scope Scope 3, right-click Scope 3
in the
File Scopes node of the xPC Target Explorer and select Start.
For scopes of type
file, xPC Target saves data to a file on the target PC flash
disk.
You next task is to stop the scopes. The following procedure assumes that you
have started scopes.
Stopping Scopes

The signals shown on the target PC stop updating while the target
application continues running, and the target PC displays the following
message.
Scope: 1, set to state 'interrupted'
2 Stop the target application. For example, to stop the target application
xpcosc, right-click xpcosc and select Stop.
The target application on the target PC stops running, and the target PC
displays the following messages:

minimal TET: 0.0000006 at time 0.001250
maximal TET: 0.0000013 at time 75.405500
Note that if you stop the target application before stopping the scope, the
scope stops too.
