Controls: Generator Dialog >> Save Setup
Macro: SaveGEN

This option is available from the button near the bottom of the main Generator dialog or from the File menu ( ALT+F, V).

Since there are a lot of controls in the Daqarta Generator, you may want to save all the settings to a file so you can return to the same setup by loading the file in another session, or even later in the same session. Just toggle this control and you will be prompted for a file name for the setup. The setup file saves only information about the signal to be generated, not main Daqarta status or preferences, which are saved separately. In particular, it does not save the current sample rate.

The saved setup also includes the contents of the long title control window above the main trace area. When you later load the setup, the title will be shown in that same location. The title text can be up to 64 characters long.

Daqarta Generator setup files have a .GEN file extension and each takes about 7300 bytes.

Note that in addition to this manual Save, you will also be prompted at exit time to save the setup if there have been any changes, including volume changes.

If you use the same setup for many sessions (say, a standard auditory threshold test) and change only the volume during each session, you can prevent the Save prompt by unchecking Prompt Volume Change in the Preferences dialog.

Macro Notes:

The SaveGEN= macro has no effect if any File Open or Save As dialog is already active.

SaveGEN= without a name will pop up the Save As dialog showing all GEN files, but with no default name.

SaveGEN="MyFile" will pop up the Save As dialog with the default name set to MyFile. (Note that quotes are needed around all filenames in macros.) If you accept this by hitting Enter or the Save button in that dialog, Daqarta will assume you want to save a file named MyFile.GEN. If that file already exists, you will be prompted to replace it.

A.SaveGEN="MyFile" will save MyFile.GEN directly, without any Save As dialog. Note that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten without any confirmation prompt.

SaveGEN=">Field1" will use the contents of Field1 as the default file name, and A.SaveGEN=">Field1" will save using that name directly.
