5.2.5 CREATE NEW FILE
This function is used to create data files, which are stored in the EPM Programmer. New
data files are created by copying data from an existing data file stored in the Programmer, an
EPM installed in the MASTER AND CONFIGURATION PORT, or a computer file (created
using TechLink software). The new files can then be edited using the EDIT DATA FILE
function (see Section 5.2.4).
The EPM Programmer can typically store up to thirty data files, depending on the
configuration version. Some configuration versions may require more memory, resulting in
less available memory to store data files.
NOTE 1: If a file is to be created by copying data from a computer file, the COMPUTER
TO EPM function must first be used to download the desired file. Refer to Section 5.2.2.
NOTE 2: The new file will have the same parameter version as the file that it was created
from, regardless of the parameter version that the EPM Programmer is configured for.
However, once the new file is created, it can only be edited if the configuration version of
the EPM Programmer matches the parameter version of the data file (refer to Section 5.2.7).
Follow the procedure below to create a new data file to be stored in the EPM
PROGRAMMER:
1. Use the MENU key to scroll to CREATE NEW FILE.
2. Press ENTER. The display will read ENTER FILE NAME and then change to a display
that allows the desired file name to be selected, which can be up to 8 characters long. A solid
cursor will appear under the first character space.
