Save—Saves the current view in a file. The current state of the VDA Tool is saved, including the data that is plotted. If a save file was not previously created, a file tool dialog box appears where you can specify a filename. By default, save files have a .sav extension.

Save As—Opens a file tool that you can use to specify a file in which to save the current graphics view. The current state of the VDA Tool is saved, including the data that is plotted. By default, save files have a .sav extension.

Export Variable(s)—Allows you to export variables to another VDA Tool.

Import Variable(s)—Lets you import variables into the VDA Tool from the $MAIN$ program level of PV-WAVE.

Generate Code—Opens a file tool that you can use to specify a file in which to save the PV‑WAVE commands used by the VDA Tool to write the data out. By default, generated code files have a .pro extension.
