Storing Data Sets And Generating Reports; Data Set Files - GE Phasor CV Operating Manual

Instrument settings can be stored as data sets. Most
functional settings are saved within a data set. When a
stored data set is later recalled, all active function set-
tings will be modified to match those contained in the
data set. The FILES Menu is used to create, recall, and
delete data sets.
In this chapter, you'll learn how to work with all FILES
Menu functions including:
• CREATE and name new data set files
(Section 6.1.1)
• SAVE EDITS to existing data sets
• RECALL existing data sets
• Delete (CLEAR) existing data sets
• Create and attach a MEMO to a data set
(Section 6.4)
• Input REPORT-HEADER information
• Specify REPORT contents and generate reports
(Section 6.6)
• Configure the instrument to output data via the
RS-232 serial port (Section

6.1 Data Set Files

Data set files are used to store a specific instrument-setup
configuration. Instrument settings and the active A-Scan
present when the data set file is created can be stored in
the file. When the data set file is recalled, all instrument
settings are modified to match the settings stored in the
data set file.
NOTE: Data sets stored on an SD card will include a
frozen display image and related A-Scans. Data sets
stored in the instrument's internal memory, will not in-

clude these images. When the data set is recalled, the
stored (frozen) image will be displayed and its related
A-Scans evaluated until the display is unfrozen.
6.3)
NOTE: Phased Array and conventional files are
differentiated by their extensions (.pop and .cop
respectively).
6.6)
Once a data set file is opened, instrument set-
tings may be modified from their data-set-file con-
figurations. However, these changes will only
affect the data set if additional actions are taken to
do so as described in
original file structure will remain as-saved.
