he Signal Hound leverages the power and flexibility of your Windows® PC,
making printing and automation easy and straightforward.
recalling instrument states are now as simple as saving and opening files, with
virtually no limit to the number of instrument states saved. Each instrument
state saves into approximately 1.5 MB on your hard drive, making it possible to save
thousands of captures. Since most Windows® PCs come with speakers as well,
demodulated audio can even be played in real-time through the computer speakers!
4.1.1
Save / Recall State
To save an instrument state, including trace data, attenuator settings, frequency settings
and more, select File Save State from the menu. A standard File Dialog box will
open, prompting you to supply a filename. This may be any legal file name, and may
be stored to any File Folder under Windows®. However, for simplicity, it is often best
to save states in the default folder.
It is recommended, when saving a trace capture, to press SWEEP SINGLE then wait
for the trace to complete before saving. That way, the state recalled has the trace
captured and the sweep paused.
To recall a previously saved state, select File Recall State from the menu. A
standard File Dialog box will open, prompting you to select a file. Once you select a
file, it will be instantly displayed on the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
4.1.2
Printing
Printing is handled through the default Windows® print and print preview dialog
boxes, accessed by selecting File Print... It is similar to printing from an Office
application. Print to any installed printer. Everything on the GUI above and below
the graticule is printed. An optional title, set by selecting Edit Set Title, is printed
along the top.
