The File menu provides standard Windows™ functions to create, save, recall or print setups, to copy the current screen and to shut down the application.
A setup comprises a set of diagram areas with all displayed information that can be stored to a NWA setup file (*.zvx). Each setup is displayed in an independent window.
The Window menu commands arrange different windows on the screen.
The File menu is used to organize setups.
The relation between global
settings, setups, channels and traces is described in the Basic
Concepts
section.

'MMEM' |
Saves and names the active setup. The analyzer opens a standard Windows™ Save As dialog box to select a NWA setup file name (*.zvx) and location for the setup file.
|
Remote control: |
Specifies the name and location of a particular file (e.g. a NWA setup file) to save:
File Name specifies a file name to save the current data (e.g. the setup). The analyzer adds the extension (e.g. *.zvx) in the Save As Type box.
Save in specifies the drive and directory in which the data is stored. The icons to the right of the pull-down list are provided for easy navigation in the file system (place the cursor on the icons to obtain What's this? help).
Save saves the data (e.g. the active setup) in the selected file and directory and closes the dialog.
Cancel closes the dialog without saving the data.
The Save As dialog
is used to store various data types (e.g. cal kit data, limit lines, sweep
segment lists, ...). Depending on its use the dialog is opened with different
file locations and data types. File locations (directories) are remembered
when the dialog is closed. To restore default directories use the System – System Configuration – Resets dialog.
Recalls an existing setup from a file. The analyzer opens a standard Windows™ Open File dialog box to select the file from all NWA setup files (*.zvx) stored on the file system.
It is not possible to open the same setup in different windows. If an opened setup is changed and an attempt is made to open the same setup again the analyzer displays a warning:
Yes overwrites the changes in the opened setup, No closes the message box, leaving the opened setup unchanged.
It is possible to create and open several setup files with the same contents
but different names or locations. To open/recall
a setup file (*.zvx) you can also use the Windows Explorer and simply
double-click the file or drag and drop the file into the NWA application.
The imported setup becomes the active setup.
