The file menu contains commands relating to station files and sta-
tions. Each command is explained separately below.
New Station
Each station connected to the computer must have its own “station” within the
software. This tells the software into which database new information should be
saved and provides the necessary communication settings (serial port, IRQ, etc.).
1. Choose New from the File menu.
The New Station dialog box appears.

2. To add a station, type the desired station name (up to 40 characters/spaces) into the
Station name text box; choose OK.
The software saves the station, creates a directory for that station using the
first eight characters in the station name (not including punctuation and
spaces), and prompts you to indicate whether you want to enter the walk-
through procedure (see “About the Walkthrough” on page 11).
