File Select Menu
The File Select menu consists of several areas.
In the upper area, Recent Data Sets, the files last used are listed; a maximum of ten files is displayed.
The available drives and directories are displayed on the left side, the files of the selected directory on
the right side. The currently selected path is displayed above the windows. Only the relevant files
without file extensions are displayed. If the area is opened several times, the path last selected is
displayed.
When a file is saved or created, its name is user-selectable; the extension is assigned automatically
and cannot be entered. The file is saved to the selected path.
Operation is similar to the operation of menus with several areas (see section "Selecting and Exiting a
Menu Area - Setting Parameters", page 3.13): By using the rotary knob or cursor keys, the area is
marked; the entry focus is shifted to this area by clicking the rotary knob or using the Enter key. The
rotary knob and the up/down cursor keys will then navigate only within this area. By using the left/right
cursor keys, it is possible to switch between the directory tree and the file list. The subdirectories of the
selected directory will only be displayed after a short delay to allow quick navigation in the directory
tree. Pressing the ESC key again shifts the entry focus up one level. The button for saving or loading
the file can be selected and pressed. After the setting, e.g. after selecting the file, the menu will be
closed automatically.
• Load file:
Mark file and load it by clicking the rotary knob or by pressing the Select button/softkey.
• Save file:
Enter file name in the File Name: field. Mark the directory to which the file is to be saved and then
click the Save button/softkey.
• Create file:
Enter file name in the File Name: field. Mark the directory to which the file is to be saved and then
click the Create button/softkey. The created file is empty; it must be filled with the necessary values in
the individual editor.
