Copy Files
Press the Copy key under the File menu to open the Copy dialog box and menu, where you can copy a single or multiple files or folders. The source and destination locations may be the instrument’s internal memory or an external USB drive, if connected. The source files listed in the Copy dialog box depend on the chosen file type, which is selected using either the Filetype drop down list or the File Type submenu key. You can also change the way folders and files are sorted in the displayed list. Refer to Copy Menu.
The Filetype drop down list has the same function as the File Type submenu key. Selectable file types vary with the measurement mode. Files and folders to copy are listed in the top pane of the Copy dialog box. Select the destination in the bottom pane. See Figure: Copy Dialog Box.
