Upload Data
During
Acquisition
(automatic control)
Enables ChartView to retrieve scans from device memory as data becomes available. The
acquisition is active.
Abort Upload
(Ctrl + J)
(manual control)
Aborts the upload. Stops ChartView’s transfer of data from the instrument to disk.
Upload Scans
Until Done
This feature is used in cases where an instrument has already scanned data (or is currently
scanning data) while not connected to a computer, i.e., ChartView was not being used for real-
time data collection. Later, when a computer is connected to the instrument, the “Upload Scans
Until Done” selection enables ChartView to access the device memory, and then upload the
data. The upload will continue until all of the scanned data has been obtained by ChartView.
