the file by pressing the return key. You may get unpredictable results if you use this menu 

option when there are not previously saved files on your disk. 

There are additional file functions available at the bottom of the screen.

When you press F1, additional information about the currently selected file displays on 

the screen. The F2 key will delete the currently highlighted file. A prompt window 

cautions the user before the file is deleted.

 

NEW 

is used to create new cable wiring documentation files. Selecting NEW opens the 

NEW menu option screen. Use this menu with the F2-Library INSERT menu option to 

create custom cable wiring files. The NEW F1-File menu option is described in the 

XXXXXXXXX Application and Use section.

 

SAVE

 saves the file information created with the New menu option screen. AXWire uses 

the DEALER field to create a DOS file name. You must make an entry in the DEALER 

field. See the

File Description

section on page 6. The first eight characters of the file 

name are used to generate a unique file name. A three-character .AXW file extension is 

appended to the file name. If you use the same file name again, AXWire will 

automatically change the last character to keep it unique. The shortcut is ctrl-s.

 

PRINT

-This menu option creates a Postscript file for the currently selected cage 

configuration and saves it on your disk as HOOKUP.PLT. Note that you must have a 

correctly configured Postscript printing capability to print the .PLT file.

 

NEW MINI CAGE

-This menu option creates a new cable wiring file for an AXF-MINI 

Mini-CardFrame. You can add up to three Axcess cards per CardFrame. The AXF-MINI 

is always equipped with a Master Card.

 

EXIT

 allows you to return to MS-DOS. The shortcut is ctrl-x.

F2-Edit

Select the F2 key to display a menu. The ADD CAGE menu option will be highlighted when this 

menu is first selected. Use the up and down arrows to move the highlight bar over the desired 

option.

 

ADD CAGE

 adds a new CardFrame to the currently selected cage number sequence.

 

DELETE CAGE

 deletes the currently selected CardFrame from the system.

 

CAGE DEVICE

 lets you change the CardFrame device number.

 

NEXT CARD

 lets you select the next card in the sequence once a cage file containing 

more than one card is built. The shortcut is ctrl-n.

 

PREVIOUS CARD

 lets you select the previous card. The shortcut is ctrl-p.

 

NEXT CONFIGURE

 allows you to select the configuration needed for Axcess card 

types with alternate configurations, such as the AXC- 232 RS-232/422 card. The shortcut 

is ctrl-t.

 

TOGGLE DIVIDE

 inserts or deletes a divide at the current position of the highlight bar. 

Divides, the short horizontal lines appearing in the vertical lines, are used to separate 

wiring data from other text (see FIG. 2). The shortcut selection for this option is ctrl-d.
