MCO 305 Design Guide
Since the Oscilloscope does not control which values are recorded or the starting and stopping of
–
the recording, the Active column will always be empty for TESTSETP curves.
Also note that the Start toolbar button will be disabled in the TESTSETP Oscilloscope since starting
–
and stopping of the recording is not done by the Oscilloscope.
Save and Open Oscilloscope Files
At any time, the complete set of curves, their data and properties, and all the oscilloscope settings, can be
saved as an "oscilloscope file" on the PC. This is done in the standard way by using the File → Save and →
Save As commands or by using the corresponding toolbar buttons. Oscilloscope files will always have a
".zbo" file extension. They will be identified in Windows folders with the icon
Any of the standard methods of opening files (i.e. using the File → Open menu command or toolbar button,
double-clicking the file, dragging the file onto the APOSS application icon or onto an open APOSS window,
etc.) can be used to re-open an oscilloscope file. When an oscilloscope file is re-opened, then the
Oscilloscope will be started and the curves re-displayed.
The Oscilloscope also has a special → Save without Data command in the File menu. This command can be
used to save the complete oscilloscope configuration (i.e. all curve definitions and settings, etc.) but without
including any of the actual recorded curve data. The intent of this is to provide the user with a method of
creating "template" oscilloscope setups that can be opened and re-used at a later time.
Reading Old Testrun Files
The TESTRUN functionality that existed in previous APOSS versions, allowed the results of Execute testrun
and Display recording commands to be saved in ".txt" files. These old ".txt" files can still be read and dis-
played by newer versions of APOSS. To do this, simply open the ".txt" file using the standard file open
mechanism. To make this easier, the Files of type field in the Open window can be set to "Old Testrun Files"
as is shown below.
When the file is opened, then a TESTSETP Oscilloscope window will be opened to display the curves. An
example is shown below. The file can then be resaved as a normal Oscilloscope ".zbo" file if desired.
NB!:
If APOSS does not recognize the file as containing old Testrun data, then the file will be opened in
a normal APOSS Window rather than in an Oscilloscope Window.
