Block Info
Activating a data block in the ‘Block Number in File’ field enables a ‘Block Info Button’.
Clicking on this button opens a list that contains the device number of the SPC modules by
which the data were recorded, the time and data of the recording, and all system parameters,
see Fig. 84. At the end of the block information the minimum and maximum count rates of the
corresponding measurement are shown (see Fig. 84, right). The block info often helps to re-
cover the exact recording conditions of an older measurement.

Load Options
Under ‘What to Load’ the options ‘All data blocks & setup’, ‘Selected data blocks without
setup’ or ‘Setup only’ are available. The default setting is ‘All data blocks & setup’, which
loads the complete information from a previously saved data file. Except for special cases
(see[2]) we recommend to use the ‘All data blocks & setup’ option.
Predefined Setups
Setups of frequently used system configurations can be added to a list of ‘predefined setups’.
Changing between these configurations then requires only a mouse click.
To use the predefined setup option, click on ‘Main’, ‘Load
Predefined Setups’. This opens the panel shown right. A
setup is loaded by clicking on the button left of the name of
the setup.
To add or delete setups to or from the list, or to change the
names of the setups, click into one of the name fields with
the right mouse key. This opens the panel shown in Fig. 85.
To add a setup, click on the disc symbol right of the ‘File
Name’ field and select a ‘.set’ file. Default setups coming with the SPCM software are in the
‘default setups’ folder of the working directory defined during the software installation. Please
note that there may by sub-directories for different classes of applications. Select the files you
want to put into the list of predefined setups, and click on the ‘Add’ button. Every setup has a
user-defined ‘nickname’. The default nickname is the file name of the .set file. To change the
nickname, click into the nickname filed and edit the name. Then click on ‘Replace’.
