4.7.8 Format Disk. The floppy disk or
PCMCIA card must first be formatted before being
used. This can be done in the unit, or on any IBM
compatible PC running MSDOS. The disks and
cards are formatted in MSDOS compatible format.
Note that only 1.44 Meg (High Density) 3½ inch
floppy disks can be used. To format a disk, perform
the following steps:
1. First ensure the disk is not write protected, (the
write protect slide must expose the hole in the
floppy disk).
2. Open the door flap on the lower front panel to
expose the drive. Insert the floppy disk, label side
up with the metal toward the drive opening. Insure
the disk is pushed fully into the drive - it will be
pulled in and down.
3. Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to
highlight the “Format Disk” menu choice and
press ENTER. You will be presented with a display
window that shows “format=NO*”.
4. Press YES and then ENTER to start formatting.
You will be returned to the Record Setup Programming
menu. The light on the disk drive will
come on and the disk will be formatted. The disk
status window will indicate FORMAT while the
disk is formatting.
5. Once formatting has been completed a window
will pop up to announce “Format Complete” or it
will indicate any error if the disk could not be formatted.
Press the “OK?” button to accept.
PCMCIA Cards are to be formatted appropriately.

Programming
4.7.9 Save ConFiGuration File. This
function permits the saving of the unit configuration
to the disk for later retrieval or archiving. This saves
the entire user configuration database which is
usually stored in nonvolatile memory. It is
recommended that you perform this function after
fully setting up the unit for the first time. This allows
you to return at any stage to a known, good
configuration setup or may be used to transfer this
setup to other machines. The file will be saved with
the current filename as set by you. Any existing
configuration file on the disk with the same name
will be overwritten. To save the configuration file,
perform the following:
1. Ensure that a formatted disk is in the drive.
2. Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to
highlight the “save CFG File” menu choice and
press ENTER. You will be presented with a display
window that shows “save config=NO*”.
3. Press YES and then ENTER to save the configuration
with the current filename to the disk.
The disk status window will show SAVE CFG and
a window will pop up when the configuration has
been saved to indicate “Configuration Saved”.
4. Press OK? when done to return to the Record
Setup menu.
