SASLab Manual


Synthesizer window : File


New A new (empty) arrangement is generated.

Open... A previously saved arrangement file (.ARR) is loaded. Alternatively, .ARR files can also be opened by drag & drop into either the SASLab Pro main window or into the Graphic Synthesizer window.

Save The current arrangement is saved under the current name.

Save as... The current arrangement is saved under a new name. The arrangement is saved in several files. The main file *.arr contains general information on the parameters used. Depending on the active parameters additional ASCII-files containing the data points are written. Each of these files consists of two columns. The first column represents the time in seconds, the second one represents the Y-values of the parameters in Hz, V, dB or %. These ASCII-files can be easily imported into spreadsheet applications (Excel) The extensions of the files depends on the type of parameter (ft, at, a1t, a2t, ... , a7t, fmt, fht, amt, aht; see Setup)
