Save a Data File

Changes you have made to the current data file displayed in the Editor can be saved on disk using the Save command.

  1. Select the Save button from the Data Editor's toolbar, or the File menu's | Save option.

    If the data file already has a name (as shown in the file's stick-up tab at the top of the window), selecting Save will save the current version on disk, under the same name.

    If the data file is untitled (as shown in the stick-up tab), the program will display a standard Windows Save As dialog box, in which you can specify the name under which the file is to be saved. The default file type is Unicode text with the file extension ".Ldat8".

  2. Type in the name for the file (accessing other drives or directories as necessary).
  3. Click the Save button.

The program will save the data in the current Editor window under the specified file name, in the specified location.

 

If you wish to save an existing data file under a different file name, use the Save As command.

  1. Select the Save As command from the Data Editor's File menu.

    LogPlot will display a standard Windows Save As dialog box, in which you can specify the name under which the file is to be saved. The default file type is Unicode text with the file extension ".Ldat8".

  2. Type in the name for the file (accessing other drives or directories as necessary).
  3. Click the Save button.

The program will save the data in the current Editor window under the specified file name, in the specified location.
