Measurement Computing eZ-TOMAS rev.11.0 - Manual (Page 10)

The data acquired by eZ-TOMAS and the supporting configuration information are stored in user-defined
files. This allows a single eZ-TOMAS system to be used with several different machines. The acquired
data is stored according to user-defined event changes, e.g., time, overall, and rotating speed.
Acquisition, instrumentation, and storage configuration parameters are also definable. These parameters
are stored over time. Configuration changes do not invalidate previously acquired data.
Functions of the Control Pull-Down Menu
The straight-forward functions of Control Pull-down menu are depicted in the above figure. The shaded
