Motion Scope Toolbar Functions

File Menu Items

File menu items found in Motion Scope match those found in most Windows programs. They may be accessed either through the File pull-down menu, or (in the case of New, Open and Save), by clicking on icons located within the toolbar.

Note

Motion Scope files consist of Motion Scope settings, not traces. To save traces, use a print screen command (Print Scrn key) from within the Windows operating system to copy the screen's image to your computer clipboard. Once the screen is copied in this fashion, you may use a graphics program to edit and save the image.

 

New-- Opens a new Motion Scope file.

Open-- Opens the selected Motion Scope file. If the selected file includes trace data, you can then choose to import the data by checking the "Include data" checkbox at the bottom of the "Open" dialog box. You can also select the file to be opened as read-only by checking the "Read-only" checkbox. In this case, the pane associated with the file will not be "active," (i.e. data acquisition will be disabled). If the selected file does not include data, then the "Include data" and "Read-only" checkboxes are disabled. See screenshots below.

Save-- Saves the selected file to a directory specified by the user.

Save As-- Assigns a new file name to the current file.

Print-- Prints the selected file as it appears on the display panel.

Note	The layout of the display panel may be altered by utilizing View commands before printing (see "View Commands" section below).

Print Setup-- Accesses your computer's printer setup utility.

Exit-- Quits the Motion Scope utility.
