After you have edited the open AMP file, it must be saved to store the new
parameter values. There are two ways to save the file:
Save — saves the edited file under its original name
Save As — saves the edited file under a new name, and retains the
original, unedited file under its original name
To save an edited file under its original name:
1. Press
[F1]
to pull down the F1-File menu.
2. Select the Save option.
The workstation saves the edited file under the original name. The
original, unedited version of the file is made into the backup copy.
Important: Use the Save function periodically to update the AMP file
during a long editing session. This helps to guard against accidental loss of
data due to unforeseen faults, such as a power failure.
To save the original unedited file and the edited file:
1. Press
[F1]
to pull down the F1-File menu.
2. Select the Save As option; the workstation waits for you to enter the
new name for the edited file.
3. Type in the name given to the edited file; then press
[ENTER]
.
A file name can contain up to 8 letters and/or numbers and
underscores (_).
When you press
[ENTER]
, the workstation saves the edited file under
the specified name. The original unedited file remains in memory
under its original name.
Exit the AMP editor after saving the open file.
