Select SAVE EXPERIMENT to either save a setup with or without data. When you have entered
the settings for an experiment but haven’t taken data, only the settings are saved. If you have
entered the settings and taken data, both are saved. Follow the steps to save an experiment.
• From the EXPERIMENT MENU screen, select SAVE EXPERIEMENT.
• Type in a name and press
ENTER
. The experiment is saved, and the
Setup menu reappears.
LOAD EXPERIMENT. This option allows you to call up a saved experiment to view, analyze, etc.
This is useful if you want to (1) load settings so you can collect data or (2) load settings with
data for analysis, etc.
• From the EXPERIMENT MENU screen, select LOAD EXPERIMENT.
• Press the number beside the experiment you want. After the experiment
loads, you are taken to the main screen.
DELETE EXPERIMENT. This option deletes saved experiments one at a time.
• From the EXPERIMENT MENU screen, select DELETE EXPERIMENT.
• Press the number beside the experiment you want to delete. After the
experiment is deleted, the Main menu appears.
DELETE ALL EXPERIMENTS. Not only can you delete one experiment at a time; you can also
delete all the experiments that you have stored. The advantage of this feature is the time saved if
several files are to be deleted. To do so, follow these steps:
• From the EXPERIMENT MENU screen, select DELETE ALL EXPERIMENTS.
• To confirm that this is what you want to do, go ahead and select YES.
