2.2.1  Saving/deleting device data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To save the newly created or edited device data as a 
device data file, touch the <Data Store> button on the 
[Device Parameter Settings] screen. The [Device Data 
Store] screen (second screen shown on left) will be 
displayed.  

 

 

 

 

 

Specify the media to store the data onto, and touch the 
<EXECUTE> button. If the media already contains a file 
of the same name, you will be asked whether or not to 
overwrite the existing file with the new device data. 
Touch the <ENT> button to overwrite and the 
<CANCEL> button otherwise.   

 

When the data is saved, you will be returned to the 
[Device Parameter Settings] screen.   

 

 

When you select to save to the FD or MD and the media 
is yet to be formatted, touch the <FD Format> or <Large 
Storage Format> button, whichever is appropriate. 
(Screen for formatting an MO, shown on left.)   

 

 

 

 
 

 

To delete a stored device data file, select the file to 
delete and touch the <Device Data Delete> button.
