Saving Configuration Settings

Configuration settings are saved in three ways: automatically upon stopping or closing the SFP, using the File»Save Configuration option, and when saving data in HWS file format.

The SFP always saves your device configuration settings upon release of a session or closing of the SFP. If the SFP detects the same device using the same resource descriptor (set in MAX) upon reopening, it loads the previous configuration settings. If you are using a different type of device, the SFP configures your acquisition automatically using the Autosetup function.

To save your configuration settings, select File»Save Configuration. Enter the name of your configuration file or select an existing configuration file and click Save.

Note   Several configurations can be saved in one configuration file. Internal to the saved file, each configuration is distinguished by an indexed unique group name. As such, you can have two configurations with the same label in the same file. The same label will not overwrite a previous configuration.

Enter any additional information you would like to add in the fields provided. Click OK to add your current configuration to the selected file.

Configuration settings can also be saved along with waveform data.
