Here the general parameters for exporting data can be set.

Outputfile

Inputfield Filename

Here you can enter a template for the filename of the exported data. Any number of variables can be inserted by using curly-braces; i.e. {0} insert the variable 0 in the string during export. All replacement variables listed later are supported.

Checkbox Overwrite

If the export files already exists and the checkbox is selected, the existing file is automatically overwritten. If the checkbox is not selected, a warning message is shown.

Button Search

Clicking the search buttons opens a directoy selection dialog, in which the user can select the directory for the exported files.

Headline

This Headline is printed above the diagram area in JPG- and PDF-Export. The same replacement parameters as for the filename fields are supported.

Comment

This comment is printed below the diagram area in the exported PDF-document. The same replacement parameters as for the filename fields are supported. The comment is printed with a fixed-sized font, so simple formatting can be used.

Decimal separator

Usually the decimal separator is selected based on the operation system settings. For the export in S-parameter format, the decimal separator used can be selected here.

Marker data

If "print in diagram" is selected, the marker data is printed inside the diagram area.

If "right aligned" is selected, the marker data is printed on the right hand side of the diagram. Else it is printed on the left hand side of the diagram.

Marker size

The marker size is the size of the little triangle marking the marker position in the diagram

The font size is the text of the printed marker data inside the diagram

Size of exported diagram

This specifies the diagram sie in pixels. The export quality is directly dependent of these parameters.

If "Main-legend" is selected, the value of the input field "Main-Legend" is printed on top of an exported PDF-document

If "Sub-legend" is selected, an explanation of the scales used in the diagram is printed above the diagram

If "Footer" is selected, a shot description of the used scales is printed below the diagram
