Managing the Data Logger 179
Once a file is created, you must open the file before trying to save information.
This is a separate function from Create. See section 10.3.2 on page 179 for a
complete description of the Open function.
10.3.2 Opening Data Files
The EPOCH 1000 Series maintains a list of all files that have been created or
downloaded to the instrument. To save information to a file, you must first open a
specific file to select it as the active storage location.
The open function allows you to use calibration files and inspection storage files at the
same time within a procedure while minimizing required button presses. For
example, a particular inspection may require the use of three separate transducers
and therefore three calibrations, but you may wish to store all inspection data in one
inspection file. In this situation, open the desired inspection file first.
You can then use the Recall or Quick Recall functions to recall any number of
calibration files during the inspection without making those files the active storage
location (see section
10.3.5 on page 183). Once a new calibration is recalled, you can
return immediately to using the [SAVE] key to store inspection data to the inspection
file without having to open the inspection file again.
While this structure requires more operations at the beginning of an inspection, it can
greatly reduce the number of operations required during an inspection.
To review the list of files currently available on the instrument, choose 5/5 > Files >
Open. This opens the Open setup page as shown in
Figure 10-2 on page 180.
