File Menu

Save and load the instrument state, and specify user preferences.

In the upper left corner of the user interface, click the (File) icon.

Open - Load (open) a previously-saved instrument state file. The Open State command applies to all operations. This returns the application to the same state it was in when the file was saved. Because connection settings are saved in the state file, you must be connected to the same instrument when loading the file, otherwise the file will not load.

Save - Save the instrument state with a *.state file extension. A state save does not save the data on the displays.

Save As - Save a copy of the instrument state to a different file name. Save the instrument state with a *.state file extension. A state save does not save the data on the displays.

User Preferences - Specify an IO timeout in milliseconds.
