Program Files
You can use the USB storage feature (see page 2-22) to store programs in the
PROGRAM folder in the GS200’s non-volatile disk (GS200ROM).
Prgm01.csv and Prgm02.csv that are stored in the PROGRAM folder when the GS200
is sent from the factory or when you format its disk are program file samples. You can
check the contents of program files on the display.
Program File Contents (See section 6.5 for the procedure)
Program files are text files that have been created and edited in spreadsheet applications
or text editors. Each file contains multiple lines, and each line represents one step in the
program.

Line
A line is a string of text that is delimited with line-feed codes (LF or CR+LF). Each line
defines the following items (from left to right).
• The source level: Defined with an integer or a real number. Examples: 1, 0.485,
–12E–3
• The source range: Defined with an integer or a real number. Examples: The same
as the examples given above.
• The source function: Defined with a character (V or I).
Make the program file a .CSV file by using a separator (choose either a comma or
a semicolon) to separate each item. You can also include white space (space or tab
characters) before and after each item.
You can omit the source range and source function. If any items are omitted, the same
item from the previous step is used. If the source function is not defined in the program’s
first step, the source function that the GS200 was using when the program file was
loaded is used. If the source range is not defined in the program’s first step, the source
range is set to the most appropriate range for the source level that is defined in the
program’s first step.
Comments
You can include comments in program files. A comment consists of any text between “//”
and a line-feed code or the end of the file. The GS200 ignores comments when it loads
program files.
