Data
Download Data
Reads measurement data from the ISL instrument.
Save, Save As
Saves highlighted (Numerical and Graphical) data to PC file, in an encrypted format (*.phd). This is
highly recommended to avoid having to download the same data again later, or to avoid losing data
later on.
There are 2 levels of protection used to stop changes to records: the first level is data encryption
and the second level is the watermark inserted by the islpc program into the encrypted data.
Open
Allows access to stored measurement data files. Refer to Section 4. The islpc program searches for
the file validity before opening data, and VALID will then be inserted into the header data of an open
file.
Close
Closed highlighted (Numerical or Graphical) window. Caution: Before closing the programme, from
the Data sub-menu, ensure you either Save data downloaded from the analyser, or export the data,
for use in spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel.
Export
Saves highlighted data as a comma separated variable file, *.csv file, for external analysis using
standard spreadsheets, e.g. Excel. Please note *.csv files cannot be read by islpc.exe. The *.csv
file contains a summary of all data files, followed by data presented in chronological order.
Instrument
Download Data
Downloads measurement data from the ISL
instrument. Provides the same facility as the Data
menu.
Erase All Data
Erases all data stored in the ISL instrument.
Caution: Ensure that any relevant data has been
downloaded before using this option.
Clear Zone Headers

downloaded before using this option.

Memory Used, Log Memory Free and the Instrument On-time are specified.
