To create a new directory, press Menu to display the File Manager menu then select
Create directory from the File section.
3.2.3 Specifying a filename
At various times the user may be required to specify a filename. Typically this will be
for saving and retrieving data to and from the card.
When saving a file, the directory structure is displayed and navigated in the same way
as in the File Manager utility (See Section 3.2.2, Directories). Before saving a file in a
directory, the directory must have already been created.
To save a file using an existing filename, highlight the required file and press Enter.
To save a file using a new filename position the highlight over the <new file> entry,
press the Enter key and enter the new filename.
3.2.4 Valid filenames
Valid filenames can have up to 8 letters or numbers in their name. They can also
contain a file extension of up to 3 letters, which usually indicates the type of the file.
The extension is separated from the first part of the name by a dot. Filenames are
always displayed in upper case characters. The following are examples of valid
filenames:
ABC123
RESULTS1
TEST1.DAT
Note: The ANT-5 does not support long filenames. If a card containing files with long
filenames is inserted into the ANT-5, the long filenames may be lost.
3.2.5 Saving results
A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) buffer is used to manage automatically saved files. Results
from the last run test are saved as AUTO1.A5R in the internal: device of the file
manager when the
key is pressed. Only three files can be saved AUTO1,
AUTO2 and AUTO3, consequently the next time a file is saved as AUTO1, the
previous AUTO1 is renamed AUTO2, etc and file AUTO3 is discarded. Therefore, we
recommend that important files are copied or renamed.
1. Select file manager (Press Alt + Menu and select Tools > File Manager),
2. Press enter to access the internal: files
3. Select the appropriate AUTO file
4. Press the Menu key and select File to Copy or Rename the file.
