Operations on Individual Files
Notes
• Files saved on the hard disk may be lost if the hard disk fails. Always keep
separate backup copies of important files on a memory card.
• Format a memory card before using it for the first time.
For details on formatting a memory card, see “Using a Memory Card” in
Chapter 18 (Volume 3).
As an example, to select a memory card, use the following procedure.
1
In the File menu, press the device selection indication above the file list
(default is [HDD] (hard disk)).
(If [Memory Card] appears, then since the memory card is already
selected, steps
1 and 2 are not necessary.)
A pull-down menu appears.
2
Press [Memory Card].
A list of directories on the memory card appears. (Maximum 40 per page)
The maximum number of directories is 120 on a memory card, or 200 on
an internal hard disk.
3
As required, press the b or B button, to switch directory pages.
4
Press the name of the directory you want to use.
This selects the specified directory on the memory card to be manipulated.
Saving Files
As an example, to save snapshot register data to hard disk or memory card, use
the following procedure.
1
In the File menu, select VF3 ‘Snapshot’ and HF1 ‘Snapshot.’
2
In the device selection area on the left, select [Register].
3
In the device selection area on the right, select [HDD] or [Memory Card],
then select a directory.
See “Selecting a Device for Operations” (page 785).
