The instrument header menu in InstrumentStudio offers options for data management, device configuration, and panel controls.

Each panel in InstrumentStudio has its own instrument header menu. Click the instrument header menu icon () in the upper-right corner of the panel to access the instrument header menu. From the instrument header menu, you can select the following options:

  • Capture data—Saves a timestamped screenshot and an NI-TDMS file containing a data snapshot. For more information, see Capturing Data.
