File Menu
The File Menu provides a means to print plotted data, as well as open, save, and export data
files.
Open Time History Data (.thd or .dsc)
Used to locate and open saved files.
• ZonicBook Medallions use files with .thd extensions.
• ZonicBook/618E uses files with .dsc extensions.
• WaveBooks use files with .dsc extensions.
Save [or Open] Multiple Data Set (.mds)
These two menu items provide a means of saving [or opening] function files. Time and auto-
spectrum data is saved. If there is any reference channel cross-spectrum is saved for all
channel pairs. The file extension is .mds.
Save [or Recall] Hardware Setup (.set)
These two menu items provide a means of saving [or recalling] current settings and processing
conditions. In addition, .thd files and .mds files can be used to recall setup conditions,
because these file-types include setup conditions in addition to measured data. Note that only
the setup condition is recalled.
Save [or Recall] Plot Setup (.pset)
These two menu items provide a means of saving [or recalling] the current plot condition, such
as window locations and window content, including: channel numbers, function type, axis-type,
and range. These files can be recalled at a later date to process customized plot conditions.
Without user intervention, the plot setup file is automatically saved with .mds, .dsc, and .thd
files.
You can have plot setups automatically recalled whenever you recall data
files. To select this option, open the Preferences window [accessed through
the Edit pull-down menu] and check the box labeled “Recall Plot Setup When
Recall Data Files.”
Print
The standard print window associated with your specific computer will open. Select a printer
and the number of copies needed before clicking .
Note: In regard to printing, black plot backgrounds changed to white.
Authorization
Opens an Authorization Dialog box that provides a means of entering an authorization code to
enable the features of purchased software, i.e., eZ-FrequencyView, eZ-TimeView, or eZ-
Analyst. The dialog box includes an option to run a 30-day trial version of eZ-Analyst.
Exit
This menu item closes the eZ-Analyst application.
Control Menu
The Control Menu provides the same functionality as do the Task Bar buttons, which differ
depending on whether eZ-Analyst is in Measurement or Playback mode. The buttons are
typically used in place of the Control Menu selections, as they are visible and can be accessed
immediately, as opposed to opening a menu and then making a selection. Should you desire to
use the Control Menu, refer to the
Measurement Mode and Playback Mode sections of chapter 2.
