Commands
More Commands / Configure System / Custom Menu Algs / Create
This command displays the Create screen, where you can create a new
Custom Menu by following these steps:
1. Select Create. The programmer prompts you for the following:
Source Disk
Algorithm Type (D,E,K)
Algorithm Media (F,M)
Destination Disk
Custom Menu Algorithm Disk
where D is default algorithms, E is extended algorithms, K is Keep Current
algorithms, F is floppy disk, and M is Mass Storage Module.
2. Select the algorithm media and algorithm source that matches the first
algorithm you want to add to the Custom Menu. (You are not limited by the
algorithm type you choose. Your Custom Menu can contain any
combination of default, extended, and Keep Current algorithms.)
In the Custom Menu Algorithm Disk field, select the disk drive where
the Custom Menu algorithm files will be created.
3. If prompted, insert the Algorithm/System disk that contains the algorithms
from which you want to choose. (The programmer prompts you for the
correct disk to insert when it is needed.)
4. Press ENTER to continue. Follow the directions on the screen.
CAUTION: This operation uses RAM as a temporary storage buffer and
alters the contents of RAM.
If you get the message Need to clear user RAM file(s) prior to
operation, there is not enough available RAM to perform the operation.
To clear the RAM file(s) and continue the operation, press ENTER. If you do
not want RAM files cleared, cancel the operation by pressing F2 or, if this
doesn't work, press CTRL+Z.
5. When the programmer is ready to write the Custom Menu (CM) algorithm
list to a disk, the following message is displayed: Insert Custom Menu
algorithm disk... Insert the disk you want the Custom Menu files to
be written to, then press ENTER.
If you get the message File ERROR: Cannot allocate file space,
delete some files on your target disk to make more room for the CM files,
or insert a different disk that has enough space for the files.
6. After the programmer copies the files, it displays a list of devices (if
algorithm type K was selected in step 2) or a list of device manufacturers
(if algorithm type D or E was selected in step 2).
Select a device or manufacturer by typing the number next to it, then
press ENTER. If the device or device manufacturer you want is not listed,
type CTRL+N to see the next page of devices or manufacturers.
