Dot plots, Histograms, etc

The only way to save your graphs and gates is to take screenshots of the View Data screen for each data file.
On the bottom-left corner of computer, type Snipping Tool into search bar. Open Snipping Tool, select New, and drag square over section of screen to save. Save to shared network drive. Repeat for each saved data file under Data Sources that you want to keep.

Don't forget: Saving your data is your responsibility. We regularly delete experiments from our instrument's computers to free up memory.
