5.7.1.2.1.1.3 EDIT RESISTOR (F2)

The Edit Resistor function key opens the highlighted Rs definition for editing. The configuration fields are

explained in the Add Resistor section above.

5.7.1.2.1.2 READ RESISTOR (F3)

Read Resistor allows the user to load a pre-configured reference resistor definition from a USB memory

device.
To load a resistor definition, insert a USB memory device that contains a resistor configuration into the front

panel. Allow about 10 seconds for the system to recognize the USB device and then press OK (F5). A list of

resistor definition files stored on the memory device appears on the screen. Scroll through the list using the

Up/Down arrow keys and select the file to be loaded. Press OK (F5) to begin the file transfer. A message will

prompt the user to continue.

Tip:

Resistor definition files must be located in a folder named “\159x\resistor” on the USB memory

device. The files must have the extension “.res” and contain resistor definition data in the proper format.

This type of file can be created by using the Write File function, see Section 5.7.1.2.1.3.2, WRITE FILE

(F2), on page 32 in the Manage Resistors menu.

5.7.1.2.1.3 MANAGE RESISTORS (F3)

MAIN MENU | CHANNEL SETUP | CHANNEL SETTINGS | SET UP Rs |

Rs resistor definitions in the resistor definition library may be added, deleted, or prioritized in the Manage

Resistors menu using the following function keys.

5.7.1.2.1.3.1 READ FILE (F1)

MAIN MENU | CHANNEL SETUP | CHANNEL SETTINGS | SET UP Rs | MANAGE RESISTORS

The Read File function key allows the user to import an entire set of resistor definitions from a file on a USB

memory device.
Every resistor definition in the resistor definition library must have a unique ID. If a resistor definition in the

library has the same ID as one read from the USB memory device, it will be replaced.

Tip:

Resistor definition files must be located in a folder named “\159x\resistor” on the USB memory

device. The files must have the extension “.res” and contain resistor definition data in the proper format.

This type of file can be created by using the Write File function, see Section 5.7.1.2.1.3.2, WRITE FILE

(F2), on page 32 in the Manage Resistors menu.

5.7.1.2.1.3.2 WRITE FILE (F2)

MAIN MENU | CHANNEL SETUP | CHANNEL SETTINGS | SET UP Rs | MANAGE RESISTORS

The Write File function key in the Manage Resistors menu allows the user to export one resistor definition or

the entire library to a file on a USB memory device.
If a resistor was selected in the Manage Resistors screen, that resistor definition will be written to a file. If ALL

RESISTORS was selected, the entire Resistor Library will be written to a file.
The screen shows the name of the file to be written. The user may change the name of the file by pressing

ENTER to open the alpha-numeric editing screen. Finally, the user presses the CONTINUE function key to
