Acquisition Options Command

Displays the Acquisition Options dialog, in which you can select the option to be prompted to save you acquisition immediately after acquiring or to sound an alarm at the end of an acquisition.

You can choose to automatically export an acquisition when saving to ASCII text. It will be given the same name with the “.txt” extension.

Choosing Export System Information will include the System ID and Comment (selected in the System / Hardware Properties dialog) in the export header.

Choosing Export Sample/Stage Properties will include the sample # (index), angle, and comment in the export header.

Choosing Export Gun Properties will include all relevant gun properties in the export header.

You have a few options when sounding an end-of-acquisition alarm. For the alarm sound, you may choose the sound associated with a specific Windows event (such as the System Exclamation) – this sound is dependant on you Windows Sounds or Themes settings. Or you can choose a sound file (such as a wave or mp3 file).

You can also adjust the volume of the sound. Note that the maximum volume is dependent on your main volume, so that this volume is relative to the main volume. If you use this PC for playing CD music, for example, you could lower the cd volume, but increase the main volume and alarm volume to ensure the alarm is louder than the music.

The Play Sound button provides the option to here the sound before saving changes.
