Loading Files from a Disk
Use this utility to load a file from a disk. Once the directory has been loaded, you
can select the file to be loaded.
If an ASCII file contains any Fixture Definitions, a prompt appears to confirm
whether the current fixture library should be deleted. If the file contains a new full
library you should delete the current fixture library. If you are simply adding a new
fixture you should not delete the entire fixture library. The fixture library shipped
from the factory is fairly full; there will be limited space available for new Fixture
Definitions to be added. The DDL disks provided with this manual contain all the
fixtures in the console library plus some additional ones. You can reload the
deleted fixtures if they are needed later. Fixture Definitions can also be
downloaded from our Web site (www.nsicorp.com).
If the console finds an error with the ASCII file, it will report the error and line
number where the error occurred. The only way an error should occur from a file
written by the console is if the file refers to fixture definitions or assignments that
do not currently exist in the console. If the file was written or modified offline,
there is probably a syntax error.
