Downloading/deleting old files
This section deals with how to download and delete old files. Veris Technologies recommends that
you do not delete any files until they have been saved to a hard disk drive and properly backed up.
Once you have done this, it’s a good idea to delete the files from the Veris instrument. This will save
time in searching the system for new files, and will insure that you have enough available memory to
store the new map files you are creating. It is also recommended that you delete any files that you
make while setting up or checking out the system, especially files with no data on them, such as
those you make while testing the DGPS signal reception.

This is the second window you will see after powering up the unit if the system has any old files in it.

If #1 is selected, the following menu will be displayed:

1. Allows the user to download any stored files onto the floppy disk.

1. Download to disk. If you press the #1 button, you will be asked to insert a diskette in the

disk drive and begin downloading the files.

2. Delete the file. If you press the #2 button, you will be asked if you really want to delete the

file, as a safeguard against accidentally deleting files.

3. Keep file. If you press the #3 button, the display will bring up the next file. If you want to

scroll through old files, keep pressing #3

4. Exit File Manager. If you press #4, you will be able to go back to the main menu.

At the end of the old files, the display will read:
