Adding Comments to a Disk File
You can add comments of up to 80 characters to each 8150 disk file. The
file must already be saved on the disk before you can add comments to
it. You cannot save comments to a file that you have not yet saved. You
also cannot add comments to an image (TIF, YUV, or Y10) file.
The 8150 saves comments as ASCII text at the beginning of each file. If
you are archiving files on a PC, you can use the DOS "type" command
to view a file’s comments.
STEP 1:
Press the
DISK
menu button, then the
Save Recall
softkey.
STEP 2:
Press the
Comments
softkey and scroll through the list with
the
File List
pushknob and highlight the file to which you
want to add comments. The large "comment box" appears in
the lower part of the menu display.
STEP 3:
If you have a PC AT keyboard connected to the Control Panel
rear Keyboard port, you can enter comments of up to 80
characters in length. If a PC AT keyboard is not available, you
can use the
Cursor
and
Character
pushknobs to enter
comments into the comment box.
The
Cursor
pushknob
moves the cursor in the comment box. Turn the
Character
pushknob to select the character, and press it to enter the
character at the current cursor position.
STEP 4:
After typing the comments, press the
Confirm
softkey to save
the comments with the highlighted disk file. The time and
date stamp is not updated when you add the comment.
