This PC Analysis menu provides the tools for you to download data from the instrument and
to process the information in various ways.
From the DOS prompt, change to the drive and directory where your TVA-1000 program is
installed. To begin, type TVA. The first screen you will see after the program loads is the
TVA-1000 main menu screen, shown below. A description of each option follows the screen.

Opens the data file window. This option allows you to download data
from the TVA-1000 to the PC software database and to select a data file
or a save block for processing.
Opens the process window. With this option, you can print or display
data downloaded from the TVA-1000.
This option displays the results of calculated functions based on current
parameters (MIN, MAX, AVG, STEL, TWA).
Opens the utilities window. Through this option, you can create a data
directory, select variables, configure the analyzer, and toggle screen color.
Opens the exit window. This window gives you the option to terminate
the program or exit temporarily to DOS and resume the program later.
The bottom left of the analysis menu screen shows the name of the current file. This filename
identifies the file that will be the source of data for all subsequent processing and analysis.
Only one file can be active at any given time.
The bottom right of the screen shows how much unused disk space is left. This same box is
also used by the program for messages.
