How To
Spectro Pro 8
Save and Print Data
You can save your experiment to disk by choosing Save from the File
menu. The experimental configuration, including data, column
definitions and window types will be saved. A standard save file dialog
box will appear. Choose a location for the file, enter a descriptive file
name, and click on OK.
Saving a complete configuration in this manner is an excellent way to
record an experiment so you can later reproduce or extend the work in
identical conditions. In addition, instructors can save a configuration for
students to use later; students then do not have to perform any
configuration or calibration and can immediately begin to collect data.
Select the data and choose Copy from the Edit menu to place the data on
the clipboard. Paste the data into the receiving application, or to a text
editor to create a text format data file.
Choose Open from the File menu, and navigate to the folder containing
the desired file. Click on the file name. Since experiment configuration
is stored in a Spectro Pro file, on loading the file any current
configuration will be overwritten.
To print a graph or data table, make the graph or data table the active
window by clicking on it, choose Print Window from the File menu, and
respond to the resulting dialog box.
To print the entire Spectro Pro screen, choose Print Screen from the File
menu.
The default location of calibration and experiment files can be set in
Spectro Pro preferences. While experiment files may be stored
anywhere, Spectro Pro will first look in the default experiment file
folder. Calibration files, both those saved by users and those supplied
with Spectro Pro, must be within the default calibration folder.
