4.3 Working with the File Manager

Directories

If you save many programs in the TNC, we recommend that you save
your files in directories (folders) so that you can easily find your data.
You can divide a directory into further directories, which are called
subdirectories. With the –/+ key or ENT you can show or hide the
subdirectories.

Paths

A path indicates the drive and all directories and subdirectories under
which a file is saved. The individual names are separated by a
backslash “\”.

Example

The directory AUFTR1 was created on the TNC:\ drive. Then, in the
AUFTR1

directory, the directory NCPROG was created and the part

program PROG1.H was copied into it. The part program now has the
following path:

TNC:\AUFTR1\NCPROG\PROG1.H

The chart at right illustrates an example of a directory display with
different paths.
