User-Defined Initial Settings
If you turn on an 4155C/4156C with a diskette in the flexible disk drive, the
4155C/4156C automatically loads the following files from the diskette:
• files for setting setup and result screens
The fields of the setup and result screens are automatically set according to the
files on the diskette. Also, you can specify which screen is displayed after
turning on the 4155C/4156C.
• files for setting internal memories
If the diskette has files that can be loaded into the internal memories of the
4155C/4156C, the files are automatically loaded after turning on the
4155C/4156C.
• IBASIC programming file
If an IBASIC programming file with name "AUTOST" is on the diskette, this
file is automatically loaded and started after loading the files for setting setup
and result screens and internal memories. For details about "AUTOST" file,
refer to the 4155C/4156C Programmer's Guide.
Files for setting setup and result screens
If the following files exist on diskette, the setup and result screens are automatically
set up according to the files after you turn on the 4155C/4156C:
The 4155C/4156C can get multiple INIT files. So, if INIT.CST, INIT.MES, and
INIT.STR files exist on the diskette, all of them are loaded. However, the INIT.MES
and INIT.DAT file both contain measurement setup data. So, if both these files exist
on the diskette, the 4155C/4156C gets INIT.DAT, not INIT.MES.
