AvaRaman Operating manual AvaSoft Raman 7.3 November 2008

2.3 Menu Options
In sections 3.1 to 3.3 the three main menu options (File, Setup and View) and their submenu's are
described in detail. The applications menu (History, Process Control, Excel) are described in
sections 3.4 to 3.6.
2.3.1 File Menu
2.3.1.1 File Menu: Start New Experiment
After selecting this option, a dialog box appears in which a new experiment name can be entered.
The experiment name will be saved as a filename with the extension *.kon. This extension does not
need to be entered.
After clicking the save button, the
current filename will be built up from
the experiment name that has been
entered, and a sequence number,
starting at 0001.
Example: if the experiment name is
TOP, the first graphic file that will be
saved in scope mode, will be called
TOP0001.ROH, the sequence number
will be automatically incremented, so
the next file that will be saved in
scope mode will be called
TOP0002.ROH etc. For detailed
information on graphic filenames, see
File-Save Experiment. Note that the dialog allows you to select different folders or drives to save
the experiments to, as well as creating a new folder name for the new experiment.
After closing the dialog box by clicking the save button, the new experiment name, followed by its
sequence number, is displayed in the lower left of the status bar. By clicking the cancel button, the
old experiment name will be restored.
2.3.1.2 File Menu: Load Dark
With this option, dark data can be loaded, that have been saved before. If AvaSoft is in static mode,
the dark data that will be loaded are shown on the screen first.
