DISK
The SD5 can be supplied with a Hard Disk and has a standard Disk drive for Floppy
Disks of 720 Kb (DD) or 1,4 MB (HD). The SD5 uses the DOS format for the Floppy,
therefore the same floppy disk can be used to exchange files from PC or Mac. The
direct connection to a PC on the back of the control panel is used to directly con-
trol the contents of the Hard Disk via PC, by means of KetronFT, a free application
that can be downloaded from the www
.ketron.it internet pages.
HOW IT WORKS AND HOW THE FILES OF THE HARD DISK ARE MANAGED
Likewise for any computer Hard Disk, the SD5 offers the possibility to create folders and to copy, rename and cancel compatible files. The Hard
Disk can store up to a maximum of 99 Folder (or files) each of which may include any type of file for a maximum of 999 files. The files are
displayed in alphabetical order and they are attributed a progressive number according to the time order in which they are created, which will
be required in some cases to load the file directly by entering the number using the numeric keypad (
SSTTYYLLEESS
push buttons) or to call-up a Folder.

THE DISK FUNCTIONS FOR THE HARD DISK
The SD5 offers some functions used to simplify the loading procedure: It can show the whole contents of a single Folder, find just one type of
file to be shown on the display when many different types of files are stored, select one or a number of files. The SD5 cannot display the whole
contents of the Hard Disk by grouping the files and Folders together but only the contents of one Folder at a time.
F1 Dir: This is used to show the whole contents of the Folder in use on the display, no matter which type of file is involved. When Global
appears on the display it means that all the files are displayed.
F2 Load: This is used to load the file found at the time in the appropriate memory if no file is selected using F10 Select. If on the other
hand one or a number of files have already been selected using
FF1100 SSeelleecctt
, only those pointed out with the '>' symbol will be
loaded. Another very handy possibility for the Folder with just a few files is that of selecting the whole contents by pressing the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
push buttons together at the same time.
F3 Save: This calls up a page from which the type of file to be saved on the disk and on the Folder selected can be chosen. The page
