Field Definitions
Archive Enter the default directory path where archive files are to be located.
First enter a drive letter (optional), followed by a colon, and the new
archive path name. Letter, number and edit keys are valid while in this
field. The GET ARCHIVE and SAVE ARCHIVE functions will default to
this path. The archive path cannot be deleted. If you try to do so, the
default Archive path name will appear in this field.
Note: If the program is being executed for the first time, the
default archive path will be the same directory from which the
program is being run. (Refer to the owner’s manual that came
with your computer for a complete description of directories
and path names.)
The archive path may also be changed from the GET/SAVE:GET FILE
and GET/SAVE:SAVE FILE screens. But this path will be valid only for
the current programming session. The configuration file can be saved
only from this screen.
Note: The RSS will NOT allow you to enter an archive path name
which points to a directory that does not yet exist. If you enter such
a path name, you will receive an error message to the effect that
what you entered is not a valid path name.
RIB Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the asynchronous
communications port (COM 1 through COM4) that the RIB (radio
interface box) is connected to.
Note: The RIB MUST be connected to the specified port.
If you are not sure how your computer is configured or if you have four
asynchronous communications ports, first select COM 1 and use the
COM TEST (F3) function to communicate with a radio. If the test fails,
select COM 2 and repeat COM TEST. Do the same for COM3 and
COM4. Make sure that all cables and power supplies are connected
according to instructions provided on page 4 of this manual.
Note: Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your
computer for a complete description of asynchronous
communications ports and instructions on how to configure
them.
Info This field is used to automatically update archive information on the
GET WORKSPACE DATA FROM ARCHIVE FILE screen (F3/F3) when
scrolling through the list of archives. If the field is set to Manual, you
will have to press F3 (Show Info) to display archive information. This
option should be set to Manual when reading archive files from a
removable diskette.
Display This field allows you to choose from a variety of color settings which
can be used with LCD displays and monochrome displays. The LCD
setting works best with most laptop displays. If your monitor does not
support grey-scale color emulation, try “Mono 2”.
