Copying a single file
U U U U Move the highlight to the file you wish to copy.
U U U U Press the COPY soft key to select the copy function.
The TNC displays a soft-key row with soft keys for
different functions.
U U U U Press the “Select target directory” soft key to select
the desired directory in a pop-up window. After the
target directory has been selected, the corresponding
path is indicated in the header. Use the Backspace
key to position the cursor directly at the end of the
path name and enter the name of the destination file.
U U U U Enter the name of the destination file and confirm your
entry with the ENT key or EXECUTE soft key: The
TNC copies the file into the active directory or into the
selected destination directory. The original file is
retained, or
U U U U Press the PARALLEL EXECUTE soft key to copy the
file in the background. Copying in the background
permits you to continue working while the TNC is
copying. This can be useful if you are copying very
large files that take a long time. While the TNC is
copying in the background you can press the INFO
PARALLEL EXECUTE soft key (under MORE
FUNCTIONS, second soft-key row) to check the
progress of copying.
Copying a table
If you are copying tables, you can overwrite individual lines or columns
in the target table with the REPLACE FIELDS soft key. Prerequisites:
n
The target table must exist.
n
The file to be copied must only contain the columns or lines you
want to replace.
When the copying process has been started with the
EXECUTE soft key, the TNC displays a pop-up window
with a progress indicator.
The REPLACE FIELDS soft key does not appear when you
want to overwrite the table in the TNC with an external
data transfer software, such as TNCremoNT. Copy the
externally created file into a different directory, and then
copy the desired fields with the TNC file management.
