Section 2: Introduction to Functions & Operations
1 Data Mode
1.File Menu
1) New File
Clear all information and data. Create a new file.
2) Open File
Open a DTM file which includes data and is saved to the hard drive. As the
file is opened, (refer to the figure in below) Sample Name and Analysis
Wavelength will show the name saved last time while analyzing sample
and wavelength.
3) Save File
Save a file to the hard drive with this button. The file will be saved as .DTM.
When saving a file, it’s better to use the default extension, which makes file
management easier.
In the Save File dialogue, input the right file name and click Confirm. If
the file name already exists, the system will remind you whether to
overwrite the exiting file. If Yes, the file will be overwritten; Otherwise,
then quit Save File. If the file name doesn’t exist on the hard drive, it will
be saved directly to the disk.
4) Setup Printer
If the default printer is not the printer which is connected to the computer,
it can be revised via this function.
Note: the precondition is that the printer driver is already installed.

sure to print, please click the print icon. Otherwise, click Close to exit Print
Preview window.
6) Exit
Exit the data mode and return to main page.
