1. Directory: Choosing this selection will display to the user a list of files all presently

stored on the flashcard. Each file will be assigned a number according to its sequence

on the card, and file data like name, date, size and location will as well be presented.

Any key may be pressed to stop the Directory during display.

2. Offload File: Choosing this menu option allows users to download data from the

flashcard to a host PC attached to the Host Connector through the Deck Unit. Firstly, the

Directory will be displayed and a File Number will be requested for download. After a

number has been chosen, the user is prompted to choose the transfer rate for the file if

the user opts for a fast download i.e. a baud rate of 57600, the user must change the

baud rate of the communications application. Next, the user can choose between a

binary or ASCII file download. For ASCII files the instrument decompresses the internal

binary data into an ASCII text file which it stores on an internal 2MB ram. This process is

indicated by a series of dots which scroll across the terminal screen. After this process,

the user is notified to start an XMODEM transfer, and a 30 second time-out is begun. In

this time the user should begin the appropriate download procedure from their own host

PC. Data is not removed from the card at this stage.

3. Resrved

4. Format Flashcard: This menu option provides an entire flashcard erase and reformat. It is

mostly used as a service option. Note:- Individual files cannot be deleted.

5. Display File: Choosing this option allows the user to look at file information as stored on

the flashcard. It is mostly used for diagnostics to see that a file has been properly

recorded.

6. Offload Data Dump: This option allows the user to offload data from the flashcard

between user defined address boundaries, ignoring any file names.
