11.9 Deleting Files
Function
A file saved on a floppy disk, a MO disk, or an external SCSI device can be deleted.
Deletion disabled/enabled
Deletion can be disabled or enabled for each file. A “*” will be displayed by files for which
deletion is disabled.
Selecting files for deletion
You can mark selected files for deletion, then delete them all at once. The letter “D” appears at
the left of the filename to indicate that the file is marked for deletion. There are two ways to
mark (or unmark) files.
• Use the jog shuttle to choose a file, and then press the
SELECT
key to mark it (or unmark
it).
• Use the “
Mark/Unmark All Files
” soft key to mark or unmark all files at once.
Note that if you execute deletion when no file is marked, the instrument deletes the file
selected at the File List menu.
