Save Now
Executes the save function. When the save is complete, the message XXXXXX file saved
(where XXXXXX is the filename) will appear on your display. If you have previously used
the
Save, Save Now keys to setup and save a file, Save Now will perform an immediate save
of your file in the same format and to the same location.
For example, if you use the Save menu to configure the analyzer to save Screen in reverse
bitmap format on the selected storage device, using the automatically generated file name
(Screen_20051215_143240.png), then every time the
Save Now menu key is pressed, a
screen image will be saved in a .png format, and the filename will be incremented
(Screen_20051215_143240.png, Screen_20051215_143357.png). This provides a
convenient format for saving several files with the same format quickly. For more
information on file naming, refer to “Name” on page 268.
NOTE In the event that a valid save cannot be performed because a location
has not been selected, the
Save Now key will report the error No location
selected. In this case, press Save, Location and select storage location.
NOTE Never remove the external memory media during a save operation. To
do so could corrupt all data on the memory media.

instrument state to the specified file name. The .sta extension
is required.
MMEM:STOR:SCR , ‘E:/MyScreen.png’ The file must have
a .png file extension. The specified file extension determines
