automatically be loaded and represented in the working window) or you can select some or all entries in the list,
which than may be deleted, exported or printed (→ test reports).
10.1.2 Save as...
Here you can save the current data to a disk file. Entries made in
field “Remarks” will be saved as well. The default file extension is
".SUI".
10.1.3 Browse
The “browse” window shows the thumbnail images of the
measured curves in the selected directory. This gives you a quick
overview over the existing measurements and you can detect a
special curve.
If you go with the mouse cursor above one diagram a small hint
window will display the significant values.
Double clicking the diagram will open the file for evaluation.
10.1.4 Export
The current data can be exported to disk files with several
different file formats which can be read by other programs (e.g.
spread sheet programs). You can use formats .XLS (Microsoft
Excel), .DBF (dBase III+) and three different ASCII formats. For
the selection of the right format please consult the manual of
the destination program. The files can contain either pure
measuring data (I-V-measuring points, temperature and
irradiation) or the results of computations. In the latter case the
results of several measurements can even be exported together
into one table. The data in the target table are represented line
by line.
Please select the desired export file format from the combo box.
Now enter a valid file name for the export file or select a existing
one with the button “Search”, then press OK.
The export files are now created and stored in the same
directory and under the same file name, but replaced file
extension (for example .XLS instead of .SUI). You can process
the exported files afterwards with a program of your choice.
Changes at the exported files do not have influence on the
original data.
10.1.5 Report
This button creates a measurement protocol containing the I-V-
diagram and measured as well as calculated values of the currently
loaded data. This report may be printed out or written to a PDF
document.
Please pay attention to the fact, that in some cases the page
orientation of the printer has to be changed before printing out. The
print uses the whole available printing area.
