Upload Current Mark File
Click the Upload Current Mark File button to upload the file currently stored in FH Flyer RAM
to WinMark’s Drawing Canvas. This process allows you to view and/or change file properties. If permanent
modifications are made, you must resave the file to the Filestore.
Open Network Mark File
When FH Flyer is configured for network sharing through the Ethernet port, use this button to
open an .mkh mark file stored on a network server or drive. The Open Network Mark File button down-
loads the file to FH Flyer’s temporary RAM for marking; however it does not save the file to the Filestore.
This button is grayed out (inactive) if a network is not available.
Save Current File to Filestore
Click the Save Current File to Filestore button to save the mark file displayed on the Drawing Can-
vas to the FH Flyer Filestore. You are prompted for a filename and can also specify a path, if one or more
subfolders exist in the Filestore.
Note: The WinMark Pro Hardlock (USB or parallel port type) must be installed on the computer run-
ning WinMark before this operation is allowed to proceed.
Filestore structure
FH Flyer’s Filestore is a hierarchical file system in flash memory, similar to the file system on your com-
puter. When Flyer is connected to your computer, you can view contents of the Filestore in the Flyer Files
window and you have the ability to create, move, or delete files, subfolders, and folders. If the Filestore
view is not shown when WinMark Pro connects to your FH Flyer head, click WinMark’s View menu and
then click Flyer Files.
When shipped, FH Flyer’s Filestore contains only a single .dat file as shown in Figure 4 -2. This particular
file saves any custom date code formats that are predefined in mark files downloaded to the head.
