Window Layouts and Snapshots
Window Layouts
It is possible to load and save window layouts used in Normal mode. These layouts only
save the size, position, and status of each window, so engineering settings like video
format are unchanged when a saved window layout is loaded.

Window Snapshots
Selecting the Save all snapshots option causes snapshots to be taken of the current
contents of every open window and saved on disk. The format in which each window is
saved depends on the type of information displayed. Waveform and Vector Scope
windows are saved as bitmap images, while the Data View window is saved as a text file.

Note:
It is also possible to save individual windows using the Save snapshot selection
available in the Options menu on that window.
Note:
The snapshots are taken using standard Windows mechanisms and so cannot be
guaranteed to relate to the same frame.
Show Menu
The Show menu affects some general aspects of the OmniTek display when
operating in the Normal (Windows) mode. Note: Some of the toolbar options

Pages

amongst the four work surfaces, which may help to keep an uncluttered screen.
The Show menu gives access to the four different pages, although you can also
use the four buttons available on the bottom right-hand side of the Status Bar
(described on page 10).
