Importing Object Name Files into Console Memory
Fieldware - SA allows Object Name Files to be imported. An Object Name File is a simple text file
that contains a list of Point and Hazard object names that are commonly used during product
application and mapping. Using an Object Name file helps to efficiently store, select, and name
mapping objects while out in the field. File names can be named for a specific task or theme such
as Field Mapping or Weeds. It is possible to access these object name files when mapping points
or hazards during the real-time mapping process (see Mapping Points and Hazards on page 4-32).
Object Name files are ASCII text files, (.TXT). These files can be created in several editors, spread
sheets and word processors. A single column of names typed into an Excel spread sheet can be
copied to the Windows clipboard and pasted into any names data base file. This makes it easy to
move existing attribute information into the names data base file format. It may be easier to simply
type name attributes (one name per line) into a word process or editor, and save that file as a text
file with the extension (.TXT). Object Name files can also be built in the Fieldware Map Manager
software.
When the names file is ready to place in the memory of the Legacy 6000 console it is necessary to
do the following:
• Copy the names file to a PC card and place it in the /sys/names/ folder. If these folders do not
exits, it is necessary to create them prior to moving the names file over. Place the PC card in
the console and power the unit On.
• Go to System Tools Device Manager and select Console as the device.
• Press the Update Console System Files soft-key, and select Object Names as the Update File.
Press the Enter key. This places the names files, located in the /Sys/Names folder, into the
Consoles system memory.
