■ You can press (Editl if you have finished editing, or you can press or
to edit the other parameter.
AUTODUMP
When you select this parameter, the left side character field shows the message
AUTODUMP. The right side character field shows whether the automatic dump
has been enabled. The dump can be a plot of the samples or a printout of the
samples. If the automatic dump is enabled the dump is made after the Stability
application has taken the last sample.
Note
■ Other applications also use the same AUTODUMP parameter.
Changing this parameter in the Logging application affects the
Stability application.
■ The Plot application sets the parameters for an automatic
plot. The Print application sets the parameters for an
automatic print. These applications are described later in this
chapter.
■ You should not enable automatic dumping to a printer or
plotter if there is a logging or stability application running in
the other channel. The automatic dump is given priority, and
the application in the other channel will be stopped for the
duration of the print or plot.
In the case of a logging application, the linearity of the timing
information is affected. In the case of a stability application,
no new data is recorded while the dump is being made.
■ You edit the dump enable using the Modify keys. It can have the value OFF,
to disable both the automatic plot and the automatic print, PLOTTER to enable
the plot, or PRINTER, to enable the print. The displayed value is always the
setting for the dump.
■ You can press (Edit) if you have finished editing, or you can press (Next) or (Prev)
to edit the other parameter.
