Format
  When

 is set to 
Trace
, Format allows you to save a 
trace accompanied by the analyzer state. The 
CSV 
format is readable by a spreadsheet on your PC, but 
cannot be loaded back into the analyzer. The TRC 
format cannot be loaded into a PC, but can be loaded 
back into the analyzer. TRC files include the state of 
the analyzer and restore all settings when loaded.
When 
Type
 is set to 
Screen
, Format allows you to choose 
between bitmap and metafile formats. 
Bitmap saves the 
screen image in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) 
and 
Metafile saves the screen image in Windows 
Metafile Format (WMF). 
Reverse Bitmap and Reverse 
Metafile
 turn black backgrounds to white and yellow 
traces to green so they can be printed visibly and with 
less use of black ink. Screen images cannot be loaded 
back into the analyzer.
