4. Working with files
Each time the application starts, a ‘Default’ frequency file is generated which contains a set of data that
lies within the frequency ‘Band’ of your receiver. This file can be copied, renamed and edited to your
own requirements see section 4.4 below.
Note: You cannot edit the ‘Default.frq’ file directly so that it is always there for reference. Simply
copy, rename and edit the file.
The S5 file functions work with the same " *.frq " files that are used in the Trantec S6000 professional
series. The frequency file contains the name, the frequency and the mute level for each performer.
Your files must only contain frequencies within the band for your receivers.
4.1 Loading a frequency file into the system
From the File menu click 'Load'
Choose the file you wish to load from the file dialog by either double-clicking on the file name or single-
clicking and clicking on ‘OK’. A single frequency will be transferred into the custom frequency location of
each receiver in your system. Receiver one will be allocated the first frequency in the file, receiver two,
frequency two and so on.
Note: The data in the custom bank will NOT be changed when you load a file into the system. Only
the single custom frequency is updated in each receiver.
4.2 Creating a new file
Note: Receiver monitoring will stop during file editing operations
From the File menu click 'New'. Enter a file name and click OK. If you use an existing file name the file
will be immediately overwritten.
When editing, you are always working with the data currently displayed in the editing boxes at the top of
the window.
The data grid and the data entry boxes will be initialised to a temporary value. The left-hand box cannot
be edited, it is purely an indicator of the current data row.
In the second box, you can add any performer name up to a maximum of six characters.
Add the frequency data to the third box. This box will auto complete if possible. For example, entering
83 will result in a frequency of 830.000 MHz, 855 becomes 855.000 MHz and 83525 will become
835.250 MHz. Any frequency is rounded to the nearest 25 KHz grid position, 846.123 would become
846.125 MHz for example.
A mute level should be entered into the fourth data box. Valid values are between 1 and 10. The default
value for this parameter is 5. If the box is left empty a value of 5 is used.
