CHAPTER 4
FILE MENU OPERATIONS
Figure 4-1: FILE MENU
From the File Menu you may perform various operations with data files
produced by your GPS unit and/or the PCX5 program. You may open a file
for plotting to the screen, save the screen plot to a “.GRM” file, clear a screen
plot, convert an ASCII file into DXF format, perform various file utilities, print
the current plot or exit the PCX5 program.
4.1 OPEN FILE TO PLOT
This option graphically plots data from an ASCII file to your PC screen using
the parameters selected from the Plot and Config Menus, described in
Chapters 7 and 9. The input file required for this option may be a file created
during a previous Download operation (e.g., .TRK, .RTE, .WPT, .PRX) or a
file in the GARMIN (.GRM) format as described in Section 6.1.
Upon choosing this selection, a dialog box will prompt you for the required
information (drive, directory and file name).
