Creating a new project
Once the software has started and you have confirmed you have
valid license options, you can then create a project. For a list of
the files that are created and required for your project, refer to
“File types and locations" on page 87.
The first step is to create a plan file. The plan file contains the
system device configuration, the properties settings for all of
the devices, and the views, as they have been configured and
arranged in the main window. Its name appears in the title bar
of the main window. You can create different plan files with
unique characteristics for specific test routes.
You can also open and modify an existing plan file, saving it
with a different name.
If a plan file is not open when you start the E6474A software,
you need to create one. You must also create a new one if you
have used the system, disconnected devices, and then
reconnected them to different COM ports than those to which
they were originally connected.
NOTE
The E6474A software comes with a set of default and demo plan files for
each technology. These files can help you to see how plan files are set up
and used. For information on how to locate these files and what each file
contains, refer to the online help, where you can use the help index to
locate Default Plan Files or Demo Plan Files.
