Save As . . .

Accesses a standard Windows dialog with the Save As key menu. The "File Name" field in the Save As
dialog is initially loaded with an automatically generated filename specific to the appropriate Save Type.
The automatically generated filename is guaranteed not to conflict with any filename currently in the
directory. You may replace or modify this filename using the File Name key. See the Quick Save key
documentation for more on the automatic file naming algorithm.
The Save As dialog has the last path loaded in Save In: for this particular file type. User specified paths
are remembered and persist through subsequent runs of the mode. These remembered paths are mode
specific and are reset back to the default using

Save
Performs the actual save to the specified file of the selected type. The act of saving does not affect the
currently running measurement and does not require you to be in single measurement mode to request a
save. It performs the save as soon as the currently running measurement is in the idle state; when the
measurement completes. This ensures the State or Data that is saved includes complete data for the
current settings. The save only waits for the measurement to complete when the state or data that
depends on the measurement setup is being saved. The save happens immediately when exporting
corrections or when saving a screen image.
If the file already exists, a dialog appears with corresponding menu keys that allow you to replace the
existing file with an OK
While the save is being performed, the floppy icon shows up in the settings bar near the
Continuous/Single icon. After the save completes, the corresponding register menu key annotation is
updated with the date the time and the message "File <file name> saved" appears in the message bar.
