Fig. 5.1. – The data viewer main window
The main window consists of the waveform screens, control elements, set of
measured data and the main menu. The first operation you have to perform is opening
the data file you want to view. If no file is opened, most of the control elements are
inactive.
5.1. Opening the data file
The viewer is designed to use data created by the “Roll mode” of DATAMAN 520
series oscilloscopes. Every file is created with extension “rmd”. Structure of the data
file is designed for handling huge amount of data. To speed up operations with the
data file some data integrity checks are not performed. Please note that opening the
file containing data incompatible with the viewer data structure can lead to
unpredicted behaviour of the viewer.
WARNING: Opening the incompatible file can lead to unpredictable behaviour
of data viewer.
The control elements for opening the data file are located on the lower left side of the
screen.
