Data Transfer
The data transfer menu is used to move data into your computer’s
working area, prepare the data for transfer to the network control panel,
and then transfer the data to the network panels.
The function of each of the menu items is as follows:
1) Save as ...: This allows you to save the database that you are
currently working on to a new file name. The contents of the original
file are not changed.
2) Save: Saves the database you are currently working on to a file of
the same name. This overwrites and destroys the contents of the old file
if you are making changes to an existing database.
3) Retrieve: Places a database file of your selection into the working
area of your computer for modification or preparation for downloading
to the IRC-3 network.
4) Directory: Displays the name of each of the files on the selected disk
drive.
5) Create Transmit Files: This menu item takes a database file you have
entered and compiles it into a form that can be transmitted to the
network.
6) Download Database: This menu item selects the compiled database
and sends the information to the CM1(N) and CM2(N) control panels.
7) DOS Shell: This menu allows you to temporarily exit to the DOS
environment to perform some DOS function. (e.g., you may want to
format a floppy disk to store a program, etc.)
Note:
You should always create transmit files and download the
database from your computer’s hard disk drive. DO NOT attempt to
perform IRC-3 programming functions from the floppy disk drive.
