Export to single file is a new function allowing user to export all time signals of all
channels to one single file and export all frequency signals of all channels to
another single file.
Control Panel
The Control Panel is used to control the test and to display status information in
real-time. The connection status of the hardware is shown on top with a button to
Connect/Disconnect (if no hardware is detected, this button will not be
displayed). The control buttons — Run, Hold, Stop, Save — duplicate the items
in the Control menu and on the Control toolbar. Config opens the Test
Configuration window. Rec./Stop starts/stops the recording after test runs.
Information on the state of the test is displayed below the control buttons.
Depending on the test mode, this might include the output level (as a percent of
the test profile) and peak voltage, the control input peak and RMS level, the target
peak and RMS level, and the elapsed and remaining time.
Right-clicking in the control panel brings up options to display an expanded set of
command buttons and test information. These commands are used to adjust the
operation of the test such as changing the output level. These commands, along
with all the display fields, will be described in the following chapters on the
specific test modes.
