Saving, Backing Up, and Creating Directories for Programs
When you create programs with MILLPWR , you can save them in any of
three places—within MILLPWR 's internal memory, on a 3 1 /
2
" floppy disk,
or on your PC using Remote Storage. Saving your work means it will
not be lost if
MILLPWR is powered down or if there is a power interrup-
tion.
MILLPWR is also equipped with a back up feature that enables you to
make duplicate copies of your saved programs to floppy disc or Remote
Storage. We recommend that you back up your programs regularly to
avoid accidental loss or other problems that may prevent you from
recovering your original programs. Backing up your programs takes only
a few moments—and will save you valuable time if a problem does
occur.
As you save and back up your programs, you can neatly organize them in any of the follow-
ing three main directories ("
MILLPWR ," " A: " and " REMTSTOR ") or in personalized subdirec-
tories that you can create.
Note: Before you save or back up programs onto your PC, refer to
Remote Storage and Setup for instructions.
For more details about how to save programs, back up files and create directories, refer to
Programming.
If you’re creat-
ing a long pro-
gram, don’t wait
until the end to
save your work.
Frequent saving
reduces the risk
of losing your
work due to a
power interrup-
tion.
