Saving a Program
You can save your programs in any of three places—on MILLPWR ’s internal hard disk
drive, on a 3 ½” floppy disk, or on your PC’s hard disk drive. It is always a good idea
to save your programs for later reference and as a preventative measure against
accidental loss due to a power failure. As a rule of thumb, save your programs often to
avoid losing valuable information.
•
After choosing the PROGRAM FUNCTIONS option, select the directory where you
want to save your program. Otherwise, your program will be saved in the last
directory that was selected. (Refer to the Selecting a Directory and/or Creating a
Directory section(s).)
•
Return to the “Current Program” screen, then press the SAVE softkey. A “Program
Name” prompt will appear:
If you want to save your program as a text file, press the TEXT FORMAT softkey.
Note: Information is stored as a numeric file (i.e., program.nsf) unless you indicate
otherwise. By saving the program as a text file (i.e., program.mpt), you will enjoy
more flexibility later—such as editing the program on a PC or printing a hard copy of
the program steps.
•
Name the program. (Refer to the Naming a Program section.)
•
Press the SAVE softkey. The program’s name should now appear in the left column
above the program steps.
