Projects
When you insert a new or an empty USB flash drive into the instrument, a new project is
automatically created. By default, it is named "Project XXX" where XXX starts at 001 and increments
by one digit each time a new project is created.
If there is no project available on the USB flash drive when turning on the instrument, a new empty
project is created using the name of the last scanned project and starting with "Station 001". If there
is a project stored on the USB flash drive, the last modified project is automatically loaded.
A project folder named "Project XXX" is created under the root of the USB flash drive. Under that
folder, a RealWorks project file with an RWP file extension is also created.
