Append to Current File
In this option files to be collected are added to the end of the current file (as
indicated by the name on the Filename button). The new file will retain the
current filename.
New Name for Each File
By selecting this option you have the flexibility to choose a completely
different name for each collected file. The names can be any name conforming
to standard Windows convention. As the files are collected, you will be
prompted to enter a valid filename for each individual file.
5.5.3 Show Card/Module Directory
By clicking the Show Card Directory (CSM1/MCR1/PC Card) or the Show
Module Directory (SM192/716 or SM4M/SM16M) buttons, a secondary
window showing the directory structure appears. Initially, the directory is in a
concise, or folded, form showing just the locations of the filemarks. Click on
the Unfold button to expand the directory to show data file locations and other
filemarks and pointers. Data can be read into a file and/or viewed directly from
the DIRECTORY screen using the Read File and View File buttons. For a
card or module with a large number of data files the Show Directory command
may take several seconds to complete.
The Show Directory command is repeated on the menu bar. See the on-line
help system for further details.
5.5.4 Get All
This option collects all valid data files in the card or module and stores them to
the specified directory, starting with the filename shown in the Filename box.
The way that the file is named is controlled from the Auto Name Control
selection buttons (see above).
As the files are read to the disk, a Progress Indicator showing the filenames is
displayed at the bottom right of the display.
5.5.5 Get New
This option collects new data files, starting from the position of the storage
module dump pointer. This pointer marks where data was last collected, and is
automatically moved after each successful collection of data. This option can
be used to collect any new data files stored in the card or module since data
was last read. As the file is read to the disk a Progress Indicator showing the
filename is displayed at the bottom right of the display.
See the relevant Storage Module Manuals and on-line help system for further
details about Filemarks and Pointers in memory.
