Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
1.8 Saving Site Files
The currently programmed site data may be stored in the Model GC868’s
non-volatile memory by saving it as a site file. Up to ten site file names, consisting of
up to five characters each, may be stored at any given time. To enter the SAVE
menu, press [F4] at the initial
User Program
screen. Refer to Figure A-4 on page A-4.
1. Enter a new site file name and press [ENT] , or use the [
←
] , [
→
] and [F1]-[F4]
keys to select and overwrite an existing site file.
Note:
The option bar will show only as many choices as there are existing site files.
If ten site files are already stored in memory, an existing site file must be deleted
before a new site file name can be assigned. See Chapter 5,
Clearing Data
, for
details.
When a site file is stored in memory, it becomes the active site file until another site
file is created or retrieved. (See the next section for instructions on retrieving a site
file.) To verify that the site file has been saved, use the [
↑
] key to scroll back to the
SITE NAME prompt and see if the name appears on the option bar (use the [
←
] and
[
→
] keys to scroll through the list, if necessary). Whenever a new site file name is
saved, it is automatically assigned to the next available function key.
IMPORTANT: The CLOCK and I/O data is not saved with the site file, while the SYSTM
and COMM data is saved with the site file.
2. Use the [
←
] and [
→
] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select another menu, or press [EXIT]
to leave the
User Program
and return to measurement mode.
1.9 Recalling Site
Files
Any site file currently stored in the Model GC868’s non-volatile memory may be
recalled at any time. Up to ten site file names, consisting of up to five characters
each, may be stored at any given time. To enter the RECLL menu, press [
→
] and [F1]
at the initial
User Program
screen.
1. Use the [
←
] , [
→
] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select and recall an existing site file.
Note:
The option bar shows only as many choices as there are existing site files.
The files are listed in chronological order by creation date.
Upon recall, the selected site file becomes active and all of its programmed
parameters become current.
IMPORTANT: The CLOCK and I/O data is not recalled with the site file, while the SYSTM
and COMM data is recalled with the site file.
Note: If you have loaded a site file into a GC868, but the option cards are not in the
same slots or programmed the same way as when the site file was first
saved, the GC868 displays a warning to review slot information. This display
does not mean that the option cards have lost their program information!
2. Use the [
←
] and [
→
] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select another menu, or press [EXIT]
to leave the
User Program
and return to measurement mode.
