New settings. Erases the current settings and then takes you, step by step, through the process of setting up PicoLog to collect some data.

New data. Enables you to open a new file to record your data. If you save the file as a setup file, only the settings are stored. If you save it as a data file, both the settings and data are stored. You can also save the file as a text file only.

Open. Closes all active windows and then opens a data or setup file.

If you open a data file, the settings and data are copied from the file, and the data is displayed. If you open a setup file, only the settings are recovered, and no data is displayed until you start PicoLog running.

Save as... Asks for a filename and then writes the data to that file.

If you save the file as a setup file, only the settings are stored. If you save it as a data file, both the settings and data are stored. You can also save the file as a text file only.

Note: Do not attempt to save your data directly to a floppy disk, as this would cause PicoLog to operate unacceptably slowly.

Delete File. Enables you to delete a file. Select the file and then click OK to delete it.
