b) When restoring from tape or comparing data, the Programming Console needs to be ready to receive data before the data is transfered
from the tape.
File Memory Operations
Operation/Description
Modes*
Key sequence
File Memory Clear
Clears the FM area. For partial
clears, the start block number and
end block number must be specified.
The FM area should be totally
cleared when being used for the first
time or if an FM error occurs due to
corrupted memory data. Clearing the
entire FM area initializes it in
preparation for future data storage.

File Memory Edit
Allows the data stored in the FM area
to be read and modified. The data
can be viewed in all modes, but
editing is only possible in MONITOR
or PROGRAM modes. If a start block
is not specified, the operation will
begin at the first block. The up and
down keys can be used to scroll
through each block word-by-word.
Specific words can be displayed by
entering CLR, the word address, and
then pressing the down key. To
change the content of the displayed
word, enter the new data and press
WRITE. Program and comment data
stored in the FM area cannot be
modified using this operation.

File Memory Read
Used to read user program data (UM)
stored in the FM area and transfer it
to a specified part of the Program
Memory RAM, or to read user data in
the FM area and transfer it to one of
the CPU data areas. Data is read and
transferred in blocks of 128 words.
UM data is read from the specified
FM start block and continues until the
first END(01) instruction, or until the
first non-UM FM block is
encountered, or until the destination
memory area overflows.
User data is read starting from the
specified start block and continues
until the end. If a non-data block is
encountered, an error message is
displayed and transfer is aborted.
When transferring to the DM area,
the number of blocks must be
specified.
