medium. There is also a selection of sizes to ensure that files recorded will fit onto common Com-
pactFlash card capacities.
Setting/Clearing Flag Bits
Pressing the tone key in the File Viewer display opens the “ SET OR CLEAR FLAG BIT” screen. The
options for setting or clearing flag bits include: set or clear the selected file, set or clear all the files in
the current folder, or set or clear all files on the volume.
All files created by the 744T have their archive bit set to on.
Automatic Flag Clearing
The recorder can be set to clear the flag bit of copied files automatically. When enabled in the Setup
Menu option FILE: COPY FLAG RESET, all files copied internally by the recorder will have their flag
bits cleared on the original file. Flags are not cleared when copying to a computer over FireWire.
File Copying Among Available Drives
Audio files are easily transferred between the 744T’s internal hard drive, CF, and external drives. File
transfer is initiated from the setup menu option FILE:COPY FILE
The File Copy menu has numerous options for each media type:
Copy All [Media] > [Media]:
Copies all files from one media to the other.
Last 24Hr [Media] > [Media]:
Copies files created in the last 24 hours between media.
Last 48Hr [Media] > [Media]:
Copies files created in the last 48 hours between media.
Flagged [Media] > [Media]:
Copies all files with their flag (archive) bit set between media.
Once file copying has begun, the 744T searches the source media for the selected files. The 744T will
then search the destination drive looking for duplicate file names. The LCD will report the number
of files found, the number of duplicates found, and the number of files to be copied and prompt to
continue.
Pressing the soft key to Enter or the Rotary Switch begins the copy process. The LCD will report the
progress of the copying operation. When file copying is completed, the 744T will report the number
of files successfully copied.
Error Conditions:
If a file is to large for the destination storage medium, the 744T will prompt to skip it or cancel copy-
ing. If an error occurs during file copying, the 744T will prompt to cancel the transfer. When the
destination storage medium is full, the 744T will report the error and end the transfer.
File Deletion
Any file or folder on either internal hard drive or CompactFlash can be deleted. Permanently delet-
ing files is a two-step process. Similar to Mac OS and Windows operating systems, the 7-Series uses a
