Chapter 8
SnapView
Overview
SnapShot data files record all measured data for a short time interval. The SnapShot
key is located in the lower left portion of PC-sam's main display. Clicking the key
causes storage of the last 36 seconds of all measured data.
SnapShot data files are viewed with SnapView. SnapView is embedded in PC-sam
beginning with version 7. In this case, when PC-sam is opened an option is available to
execute SnapView. For earlier versions of PC-sam, SnapView is executed by clicking
on an icon on the desktop.
Most features available in PC-sam are also available in SnapView. For example sweep
rates and amplitudes can be adjusted while viewing the files and the keys are active to
display windows with associated parameter values.
SnapView display
The SnapView main display is very similar to the monitor display of PC-sam. Most keys
perform the same function as in PC-sam. The only differences are the Setup, ReRun,
Print and Export keys.
