the current screen displayed in preparation to save it in
a file for retrieval at a future date. Screen files can be
saved in any of the following formats: Bitmap, Metafile,
Reverse Bitmap, and Reverse Metafile. Refer to the
Format key description.
NOTE Screen files saved in WMF format can only be loaded into Microsoft

Applications such as Microsoft Word.
NOTE The screen saved is that which was displayed before pressing File. For
this reason, the screens seen while in the file menus cannot be saved.
Corrections

detects the current corrections in preparation to save
them in a file for retrieval at a future date. Corrections
provide a way to adjust the trace display for preset gain
factors (such as for cable loss). A correction set may
hold up to 200 points. Refer to the
Source key
description. Key Access:

Format When Type is set to Trace, Format allows you to save a
trace individually or accompanied by the analyzer
state. The
CSV format is readable by a spreadsheet on
your PC, but cannot be loaded back into the analyzer.
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.
Source When Type is set to Trace, Source allows you to save
trace
1, 2, or 3, along with state. Saving trace All saves
all traces in a single.trc file, along with the state.
