_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.5 Receiving Waveform Data You can transfer waveform data from memory in the Memory HiCorder to the computer. The data is transferred as a file in the same format as in a binary save to recording media on the Memory HiCorder. Select Data Transfer, then Get/Save Waveform Data.
Page 23
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ After completing data transfer, the following dialog appears. Double click the displayed file name or select the file name and click [Wv] button to start up waveform view to display the waveform file. Also click [Explorer] button to start up Explorer and see the folder that contains the saved files.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.6 Printing Waveform Data You can print waveform data from the Memory HiCorder on a printer connected to the computer, in place of the internal printer of the Memory HiCorder. Go to [Data Transfer] and select [Get/Print Report Image] to display the following dialog.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.7 Other Functions 3.7.1 Changing the Connection Timeout Setting The remote control application carries out various data transactions with the Memory HiCorder. If the LAN is busy, responses may be delayed, and if the delay with no response exceeds a preset limit, a timeout occurs, and the network is disconnected.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.7.2 Changing the Screen Image Transfer Interval The screen image display is normally updated each time there is a key panel press, directly after measurement ends (or at the measurement interval when the trigger mode is continuous or auto), and at regular intervals. You can change this regular interval for the update.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.7.4 Saving the Screen Image You can save the Memory HiCorder screen image displayed in the window of the remote control application as a bitmap file in the computer's file system. This is convenient for saving a measured waveform as a screen image, or to copy a settings screen for documentation purposes.
