Cell Master User Guide : File Management : Managing Files : Save Files
 
Save Files
The submenu keys that are available for file management may vary with instrument options and measurement modes. Refer to File Menu.
Save Measurement As
The Save Measurement As submenu key provides a one-touch method of saving the current measurement data. The name of the file that will be saved is displayed on the submenu key. The numerical suffix increments by 1 following the Save. For example, if the last measurement was saved with the file name ACPR, the Save Measurement As shows the default file name for the next measurement to be saved as ACPR_1, then ACPR_2, and so on. To save using a different file name than the default, press the Save Measurement key or the Save key instead of Save Measurement As.
Save Measurement
To save the current measurement data, use the Save Measurement As submenu key described above or, to apply a different file name or save location than the default, press the Save Measurement submenu key or the Save key. In the Save dialog, you can enter the file name and select the type of data to save. See Figure: Save Dialog Box and refer to Save Dialog Box.
Save
The Save submenu key has the same function as Save Measurement. It opens the Save dialog box and menu illustrated in Figure: Save Dialog Box.

In the Save dialog, use the touch screen keyboard to enter the name of the file to save. See Figure: Save Dialog Box. Optionally, you can use the Quick Name keys to insert preset text strings into the file name. Refer to Quick Name Keys.
To select the type of data to save, either press the Filetype selection box to display the drop down list of available file types, or press the Change Type submenu key.

Quick Name Keys
Quick Name keys in the Save dialog provide optional building blocks for entering file names. They function as keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to enter predefined, frequently used file names or parts of file names. To enter or change a Quick Name, press the Change Quick Name submenu key in the Save menu, then select the item to edit (see Figure: Select Quick Name List Box) and press Enter on the numeric keypad. In the Edit Quick Name dialog, use the touch screen keyboard to enter a new Quick Name. See Figure: Edit Quick Name Dialog Box.

Quick Name Matrix
The Quick Name Matrix key is present in the Save dialog only in the Cable and Antenna Analyzer and 2-port Transmission measurement modes. See Figure: Save Dialog Box (Cable and Antenna Analyzer Mode). Similarly to the Quick Name keys, the matrix gives field personnel a shortcut method to enter file names in compliance with carrier requirements, which may include file naming conventions related to site number, sector information, color coding, measurement type, termination device, or frequency information. See Figure: Quick Name Matrix.
