Viewing Help On A Separate Computer; Copying The Html Help (Chm) Files - Agilent Technologies X Series Manual

Viewing Help on a separate Computer

You may want to view the help pages without having them appear on top of the Analyzer's screen.
There are two separate Help files for each Analyzer Mode, which contain all the same help pages in
different formats:
1. A file in HTML Help (CHM) format,
2. A file in Acrobat (PDF) format.
You can copy any of the Help files to another computer, then open and view the help pages in the file on
that computer.
Your choice of which file to copy and view may depend on what you want to do with the file (for
example, whether you want to print it and read the paper copy, or view it on the computer). The table
below compares the relative advantages of the two formats:
