Displaying and editing text files
To open and edit text files (ASCII files, e.g. with the extension
txt
or
ini
), proceed as follows:
Call the file manager
Select the drive and the directory in which the text
file is saved
Move the highlight to the text file
Press the ENT key: The TNC displays a window for
selection of the editor
Press ENT to select the
mouse pad application.
Alternatively, you can also open the TXT files with
the TNC's internal text editor
The TNC opens the text file in its own application
using the Mousepad additional tool
If you open an H or I file on an external drive and
save it on the TNC drive using
Mousepad
, the
programs are not converted automatically to the
internal control format. Programs that are saved
in this way cannot be run or opened with the TNC
editor.
With the key combination ALT+TAB you can always return to the
TNC user interface while leaving the text file open. Alternatively,
you can also click the corresponding symbol in the taskbar to
switch back to the TNC interface.
The shortcuts you are familiar with from Windows, which you can
use to edit texts quickly (CTRL+C, CTRL+V,...), are available within
Mousepad.
To exit
Mousepad , proceed as follows:
Use the mouse to select the File menu item
Select the menu item
Quit
: The TNC returns to the file manager
