Normally, it will not be necessary to change the

Drive

or the

Directories

settings; if however, you

need to open a setup file from a different drive (such
as a floppy drive) or directory, scroll through the lists
of available drives and directories and select the
desired drive or directory by double-clicking it. If you
select a drive that is not ready or a directory which
has no setup files in it, an error message will be
generated.

3.

Each stored setup has a time stamp and a user-
entered text

Description

to uniquely identify it.

These are easily browsed prior to recalling a setup,
thus preventing time from being wasted if the wrong
setup file is selected. To browse a setup time stamp
and

Description

, scroll to and click on the desired

file listed in the

Setup Files

list box.

4.

Once the desired setup file name has been found,
either double-click it or click on

OK

to open it. A

message will alert the user that 60 seconds may be
required to completely open the setup.

An "hourglass" mouse cursor will now appear, indicating that the
PCAP II is busy configuring itself with the recalled settings from disk.
