5. STORING FILTER CONFIGURATIONS

5.1 Save File Dialog Box

Application:

To save time configuring the MicroDAC IV control settings, complete setups may easily be stored

to disk setup files for future recall.

Store a setup to a disk file as follows:

1. Click on File on the MicroDAC IV menu bar. When the pulldown menu appears, click on

Save As (or click on the "floppy disk" icon on the toolbar). This will cause the following

window to appear:

Figure 5-1: Save As Setup File Window

2. If you desire to place the setup file into a different drive (such as a floppy drive) or

directory, use the Save in selection box. If you select a drive that is not ready, an error

message will be generated.

3. You will need to specify a filename for the setup. Click on the File Name text box, then

type the desired filename. All setup filenames must have the .MDC extension; thus, the

.MDC extension is automatically included in the text box.

4. Click on Save to store the setup file with the selected filename to the specified drive and

directory. (The Open as read-only checkbox is not applicable, and is thus ignored.)

NOTE: The file "default.mdc" is the configuration file stored in the installation directory that holds the

shutdown information for the MicroDAC IV software. Whenever the MicroDAC IV software is closed, the

current screen settings are stored in this file. The next time the MicroDAC IV software is run, these

settings will be retrieved, enabling you to pick up where you left off.
