1.8 Saving site files
The currently programmed site data may be stored in the
model GF868’s nonvolatile memory by saving it as a site file.
Up to ten site file names, consisting of up to five characters
each, may be stored at any given time. To enter the SAVE
menu, press [F4] at the initial user program screen. Refer to
figure 13.
1. Enter a new site file name and press [ENT], or use the
[], [] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select and overwrite an
existing site file.
NOTE:
The option bar will show only as many choices as there are
existing site files.
If ten site files are already stored in memory, an existing
site file must be deleted before a new site file name can be
assigned. See chapter 5, clearing data, for details.
When a site file is stored in memory, it becomes the active
site file until another site file is created or retrieved. (See
the next section for instructions on retrieving a site file.) To
verify that the site file has been saved, use the [] key to
scroll back to the SITE NAME prompt and see if the name
appears on the option bar (use the [] and [] keys to scroll
through the list, if necessary). Whenever a new site file name
is saved, it is automatically assigned to the next available
function key.
IMPORTANT:
The CLOCK and I/O data is not saved with the site file, while
the SYSTM and COMM data is saved with the site file.
2. Use the [] and [] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select another
menu, or press [EXIT] to leave the user program and
return to measurement mode.
1.9 Recalling site files
Any site file currently stored in the model GF868’s non-
volatile memory may be recalled at any time. Up to ten
site file names, consisting of up to five characters each,
may be stored at any given time. To enter the RECLL menu,
press [] and [F1] at the initial user program screen.
1. Use the [] [] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select and recall an
existing site file.
NOTE:
The option bar shows only as many choices as there are
existing site files. The files are listed in chronological order
by creation date.
Upon recall, the selected site file becomes active and all of
its programmed parameters become current.
IMPORTANT:
The CLOCK and I/O data is not recalled with the site file,
while the SYSTM and COMM data is recalled with the
site file.
NOTE:
If you have loaded a site file into a GF868, but the option
cards are not in the same slots or programmed the
same way as when the site file was first saved, the GF868
displays a warning to review slot information. This display
does not mean that the option cards have lost their
program information!
2. Use the [] and [] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select another
menu, or press [EXIT] to leave the user program and
return to measurement mode.
