name has been entered, then it takes the place of the default one for the
following answers.
•
A digital index is automatically added to trend file names on PCMCIA card.
•
ALARM, EVENT and DIAG records are organized in blocks and the files use
sectors of 512 bytes (as in the DOS) so that the effective number of records may
be greater than the programmed number of records.
