3.2.4 File Close
File Close terminates the presently selected Acquisition Widow. This is similar to a left mouse click on in
the upper right corner of the Acquisition Window. If shots have been saved in a temporary database file, the
user will be prompted automatically to save the captured data with a registered file name.
3.2.5 File Clear
File Clear deletes all shots from the presently viewed database. The user is prompted with:
Delete all entries in database?
before the database is cleared. Clicking on OK will destroy all captured shots and is non-recoverable. Care
should be taken before clearing all shots from a database.
3.2.6 Write ASCII
Write ASCII outputs ASCII text files of collected digitized data, the shot list, and the system setup. The data
output is determined by which measurement feature is presently selected (has focus). The user is prompted for
an output filename. EasyPower Measure will automatically choose filename extensions for the data being
saved. For some Result Windows, more than one text file could be written to disk. Table 2 lists the filename
extensions used with each measurement feature.
Table 2. ASCII filename extensions.

3.2.7 File Exit
File Exit terminates the application. If any Acquisition Windows need to be saved, the user will be prompted.
The default configuration file is also updated. This is similar to a left mouse click on in the upper right
corner of the Application Window.
3.3 User Configuration
The complete configuration of each Acquisition Window in the application workspace can be saved as a user
configuration to disk. This configuration file allows the user to set up a customized data collection work space
and save it for later use. With simple file loading, each previously saved user configuration can be loaded to
minimize instrumentation setup time and create a consistent measurement procedure. In addition to the user
configuration, EasyPower Measure will always remember the configuration setup when the application was last
terminated. Configuration files store the complete application configuration including:
• All configuration parameters for each Application Window as seen in the configuration dialogs.
• All Acquisition Window sizes and positions.
• Up to eight (8) acquisition windows.
• Result Window size and position.
A directory of typical user configurations has been supplied with this program. Table 3 below lists the
configuration file names and notes particular applications.
