Definition File
The names of the user-defined data files saved in the 2560A IN and 2560A OUT folders are fixed.
The name is not case sensitive.
• Thermocouple user-defined data file name: TCUSER.TXT
• RTD user-defined data file name: RTDUSER.TXT
If User-Defined Data Contains Errors
If there is an error in the user-defined data, an error will occur. If an error occurs, the contents in the
internal memory of the 2560A will not be updated.
Error File
When an error occurs, the information is saved in a file in the 2560A OUT folder.
• TC USER error file name: ERRORTCUSER.TXT
• RTD USER error file name: ERRORRTDUSER.TXT
For details on errors, see “Definition Specifications” or “User-Definition Error Messages” in appendix
6.
If the content in the 2560A’s internal memory is updated correctly with user-defined data, the error
file is deleted.
When User-Defined Data Is Not Written in Nonvolatile Memory
In the factory default condition or when user-defined data is deleted with a communication command,
the 2560A will not have data written in its internal memory. If you select to source a user-defined
thermoelectromotive force or resistance, the 2560A will respond in the following manner.
