that can be broadly divided into project folders where files such as bitmap files and project files (exten-
sion.ipp) are stored.

Sample
Note 1. The user can edit these files with a text editor. The other files are created by NS-Designer and must not
be edited using a text editor or other means.
2. These files are created when printing or executing a test and are not transferred when transferring data
to the PT.
3. These files are created when validating and are not transferred when transferring data to the PT.
When files are saved under the name Sample, a file named Sample.IPP will be created in a folder
called Sample under \Temp\ in the NS-Designer install directory. To open an existing project, select the
file with the IPP extension.
Reference
♦ To move or copy the project data to a floppy disk or other storage area, select both the folder and
project file, and execute the operation. The project consists of these two data types and cannot be
opened if only one of them is selected.
