Directories
To ensure that you can easily find your files, we recommend that you
organize your hard disk into directories. 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.
The path, including all drive characters, directory and the
file name, including the extension, cannot exceed 256
characters!
