Chapter 3 Writing on the Luminex
Reopen
Using the Reopen feature, you can open an existing file for searching and readback purposes. For
example, let's say you wrote in the morning and at lunch, you closed the file on your Luminex. After
lunch, you realize that the same witness is going to continue with his testimony so you open the
morning file and append the afternoon testimony to it. That allows you to readback from the morning
file if it is requested. You can search, scroll and playback audio in a reopened file.
The Luminex stores files for reopen on the Data SD card. It is necessary to have the Data SD card in
the Luminex in order to reopen files. When you reopen a file and resume writing, the new text is
appended to the reopened file and is a single file on the Date SD card. New text shows on the screen
following the heading, Reopened Section. The Luminex creates a new Reopened Section each time
you reopen a file. J-Defines created in the reopened file apply only to the appended portion and are the
only J-Defines stored with the file. J-Defines created during previously reopened sections are available
by writing all J-Defines to the J-Defines.job dictionary.
You can only reopen a job with associated audio on the same day it was created. For example, let's
say you take the testimony of a witness and when finished, you end the file on your Luminex. As you
start to pack up, the attorney remembers that he forgot to ask the witness some specific information
so the attorney wants to go back on the record. You can only reopen and append to the job the same
day. The original and appended steno notes, timestamps, audio and all new J-Defines are stored in
the same file on the Data SD card. The original and appended files are saved in separate files in
memory and on the Backup SD card.
In addition:
·
If a job selected for reopen has audio and your options are currently set to not record audio, you
can only open and append to the job by changing your audio settings to record audio.
·
If the job selected for reopen does not have audio and your options are currently set to record
audio, you can only open and append to the job by changing your audio setting to not record
audio.
To reopen and append a file:
1. From the Opening menu, touch Reopen.
2. Job files are organized into folders by year and month, with the newest folder first. Touch the
Down/ Up sensors to highlight to the desired folder. Use Date Sort to toggle folders between
ascending and descending order.
3. Touch Folder to display the job files for the selected folder.
Job files display in date order, newest files first, with the following subfile information: the file size in
megabytes, the estimated number of transcript pages, an indicator when there is an associated
Audio file and an indicator when there is an associated job dictionary.
4. Touch the Down/ Up sensors to highlight the desired file for reopen.
5. Touch Open. The Luminex loads the file. The new translation displays on the Tilting screen under
the Reopened Section.
