Saving Setup and Measurement Data 49

Saving Setup and Measurement Data

The ‘Save’ panel is shown in Fig. 81. It contains fields to select different file types, to select

or specify a file, to display information about existing file, and to select between different save

options.

File Format

You can chose between ‘SPC Data’ and ‘SPC Setup’. The selection refers to different file

types. With ‘SPC Data’ files are created which contain both measurement data and system

parameters. When this file is loaded not only the measurement data are restored but also the

complete system setup. With ‘SPC Setup’ files are created that contain the system parameters

only. When such files are loaded the system setup is restored, but no data are loaded. Files

created by ‘SPC Data’ have the extension ‘.sdt’, files created by ‘SPC Setup’ have the exten-

sion ‘.set’.

File Name / Select File

A file name can be written into the ‘File Name’ field. ‘Select File’ opens a dialog box that

allows you to change or create directories. Moreover, it shows the names of existing files.

These are ‘.sdt’ files or ‘.set’ files, depending on the selected file format. If you want to over-

write an existing file you can select it in the ‘File Name’ field. A history of previously saved

files is available by clicking on the

button.

File Info

After selecting the file text can be written into the ‘Author’, ‘Company’ and ‘Contents’ fields.

Both for ‘SPC data’ and ‘SPC setup’ the file information is saved in the file. The file informa-

tion helps considerably to later identify a particular measurement among a large number of

data files. We therefore strongly recommend to spend a few seconds on typing in a reasonable

file information.

If you have selected an existing file the file information contained in it is displayed in the

‘File info window’. If you want to overwrite this file you can edit the existing file information.

Selecting the data to be saved

Under ‘What to Save’ the options ‘All used data sets’, ‘Only measured data sets’ or ‘Selected

data blocks’ are available, see Fig. 82. The default setting is ‘All used data sets’, which saves

all valid data available in the memory of the SPC modules. These can be measured data, cal-
