The second limit is the potential size of a summary le. The size of the
summary le depends on how many tests are made and the setup of the Run
Until softkey.
Usually you will not have 224 summary les. However, if you are also storing
screen and waveform information to the disk, there is the potential to ll up
the disk. If the instrument cannot store additional les to the disk, the header
portion of the summary is still updated, but additional logs are not appended
to the summary le.
Messages like Channel 1 could NOT be saved to the disk are caused by
the following conditions:

The
disk
is
write-protected.

An MS-DOS
disk
is
not
in
the
drive
.

The
disk
is
full.

The
maximum
number
of
224
les
are
already
stored
on
the
disk.

Store
Screen
The
Store
Screen
function
determines
what
the
instrument
does
to
the
data
on
the
screen
on
a
failure
.
The
screen
data
is
a
pixel
dump
of the
entire
screen
area.
The
choices
are
o,
pixel
memory
,
printer
,
disk.
The
screen
image
allows
you
to
see
what
the
display
looked
like
at
the
time
of
the
failure
,
but
you
cannot
rescale
it
later
like
you
can
with
waveform
memories
or
functions
.
If
the
Help
menu
is
displayed
on
the
screen
at
the
time
of
the
failure
,
then
the
Help
menu
is
the
screen
image
that
is
stored.
