Printing & Saving Results
ElectriCalc allows you to print your setups or save them on your hard drive or
floppy for future reference or to pass on to others. You can print up to 5
setups side-by-side to compare the effects of your changes. Select Print from the menubar or use the Alt+P shortcut key. This screen allows you to create printouts of the information you have
created on the main screen . You can specify which column to put data in, move and swap columns around,

retrieved later or archived or shared with others. You will be asked to enter a file
name. TXT is the default extension. If you select OK or the Enter key without a filename, ECALC.TXT will be the default. You can retrieve data by clicking File when no column boxes are . When you exit ElectriCalc, your last print screen is saved and automatically
retrieved the next time you run. Note that no boxes are for retrieved data.
Click Return to return to the main menu. Remember that you don't have to select Print until you've accumulated all the data you want. It doesn't go away.
