Spectro Pro

This option exports data to a tab-delimited text file. Only raw data
including time and manually entered data from the data run you select
are exported to the file. Calculated columns or curve fit columns are not
saved. A time stamp, column names, short names, and units are saved to
the beginning of the file. After choosing this option, enter the name of
the file you wish to create. Note: Do not confuse this option with the
Save or Save As options which save all the details of the current
experiment. Use the Export Data option only if you want to create a file
that can be read by other applications such as spreadsheets or word
processors. You can instead use copy and paste features to transfer data
to other applications.

Printing Options calls a dialog box in which you can set text that will be
printed with any graph or data table. This helps to identify printouts
coming from a shared printer. If the Date field is checked, the date and
time of printing are included on the page. If the Always Show Page
Setup field is checked, this dialog box will be displayed whenever the
print command is issued. In that case, clicking OK will then display the
Print dialog box where the number of copies is set.

Clicking on the Page Setup button will display the current printer’s
setup dialog. Options such as print quality and paper source can be
chosen here. The same dialog may be accessed with the next menu item,
Page Setup.

Page Setup accesses your printer’s Print Setup dialog where you may see
which printer is to be used, change the printer’s properties, and the paper
size and print orientation.

Choose Print Window to print either a graph or data table window,
whichever window type is active. If the active window is a graph
window with more than one pane, you will be given a choice of printing
one pane or all panes. The available options will depend on the type of
printer available.

Print Preview will show a reduced-size image of the page as it will be
printed. This is useful to ensure that a given print request won’t take too
many pages.

Print Screen prints the entire Spectro Pro main window with all of the
window types currently displayed as they look on your screen.
