File

New sets the software to its standard initial state using the current hardware configuration. The window name changes to Untitled. Rename and save the new setup as a settings (.scp) file (saving only the software parameters).

Open opens a saved settings (.scp) file. Opening a settings file configures the signal parameters for use with the currently selected hardware.

To use a settings file with a different hardware configuration, select Change Hardware Connections, or Run System Configuration Wizard and re-configure the hardware.

Save As saves only signal parameters to a specified settings (.scp) file. Settings files do not contain the hardware configuration data. When you save a file, it is added to the top of the Most Recently Used Files list. 

Recently Used Files

This area of the File menu displays the four most recent settings files that were opened with Open or saved with Save As. The settings file used most recently is added to the top of the list. Deleting a settings file does not immediately remove it from the list. Selecting a deleted settings file displays an error and then removes the file from the list.

Export Waveform Data saves an encrypted waveform file (with a .wfm extension) to your PC. The waveform file is created with the settings and parameters from the GNSS node. This waveform file can then be downloaded and played in other licensed instruments.

Coupling: Visible with the Capability selection of Basic Single Satellite Waveform.

Exit stops and closes the software.

Control

This menu bar item is visible only while the Capability selection is Basic Single Satellite Waveform.

Generate generates the waveform based on current settings.

Download generates and downloads the waveform to the connected instrument.

System

Change Hardware Connection opens step 2 of the System Configuration Wizard, where you can select a previously saved hardware configuration, or define and save a new hardware configuration.

Run System Configuration Wizard enables you to configure your system component connections and save the hardware configuration for later use. Use the System Configuration Wizard to set up a new instrument connection.

Tools

Options enables or disables the Closedwelcome dialog display.

Convert Waveform updates header information in legacy Signal Studio waveform files (*.wfm) so they can be used with N7609C-licensed instruments. Clicking this selection opens a file management window where you can select multiple waveform files at once. Click OK to begin the conversion. A progress bar is displayed. When complete, the converted waveform files appear in the same directory as the originals, keeping their same file names, but with "_new" appended to them. The original files remain unchanged.
