chart files may contain more than one chart. For such files,
SCA NDISK
lists the first chart contained in
the file and appends an asterisk to the end of the chart name to indicate the presence of additional
charts within that file.

5.2.3.2 Loading Charts From Disk
After
SCA NDISK
presents the menu of charts on disk, press
LOAD ALL
to load all the charts into the
8500C/C+’s memory or use the Arrowkeys to select a single chart file. Then press
LOAD FILE
to load
the selected chart to memory.
When the load operation is complete, the chart selection menu displays along with the new chart(s).
Note that the loading of duplicate charts does not overwrite existing copies already in memory. They
are simply added to the menu and sorted accordingly.
See Sectio n10.2.1 “Loading Disk Files” on page 10-3 for a complete description of loading balance
charts from a disk.
5.2.3.3 Renaming Charts
Balance charts can be renamed and stored to disk or kept in memory. Charts that are specific to a
particular aircraft may be renamed in order to better identify them. This is especially important for
corrected balance charts, since the correction factors that have been added to the chart are applied to all
subsequent balance measurements (see Sect ion5.6.2 “Chart Corrections” on page 5-17).
To rename a chart, press the
RENAME CHT
soft key. The 8500C/C+ enters its edit mode of operation
and displays the Balance Chart Edit screen (see Figu re5-4). The soft keys and procedures used here
are nearly identical to those used to edit the printout annotation. The only exceptions are the use of th
START
and
STOP
keys that tab five spaces to the left and right, respectively. See Section8.3
“Annotating Printouts” on pa ge8-5 for a complete description of the edit mode. When you have
finished renaming the chart, press th
ENTER
soft key to enter the new name and exit edit mode. The
name of the chart is then updated accordingly on the menu of available charts.
