5.5.8.1. Downloading to the device
The contents of the editor is downloaded to the device by re-
peatedly selecting the “RETURN” line in the editor window. The
procedure can be seen from Fig. 5.33.
As this operation is an extremely important one, a number of in-
ternal checks are carried out (e.g. comparison of the software
code which is set with the existing software key). The down-
loading procedure is aborted if errors are discovered (a corre-
sponding message is displayed) and the existing device settings
are not changed.
Confirming parameters
If the “ParamConf” parameter is set, every new or changed pa-
rameter has to be individually confirmed by pressing the <®>
key before it is saved. The corresponding menu for correcting a
parameter can be opened by pressing <Esc>.
5.5.8.2. Saving in and loading from a file
The complete set of parameters including the hardware and
system configuration data can be saved in a file either on a
floppy or on the hard disc by one of the following:
· selecting the menu item “Save Parameters to File”
· repeatedly selecting “RETURN” as illustrated in Fig. 5.33.
The user is requested to enter a file name which must conform
to the DOS format (max. 8 characters of file name and 3 char-
acters extension). The file is created in the current directory, if a
path is not entered (max. 35 characters). Corresponding error
messages are displayed should problems be encountered during
the saving operation.
Loading a file from a drive is the reverse process of saving one.
The user is requested to enter the name of the file. If a file of that
name is found, it is first checked for compatibility and then
loaded into the editor with the new set of parameters.
Note:
Loading a set of parameters from a file overwrites any data in
the editor beforehand. Therefore if you do not wish to loose the
existing data in the editor, they must be saved in a file before
any other file is loaded.
