Working with the FA-127
14
During reception a status box is displayed, telling you how far transmission has pro-
gressed. To stop transmission on the PC, choose
[Abort]
, and on the Digital Diary either
or
. If transmission is aborted on one unit, then the other unit automati-
cally stops, too. This behaviour may vary from one model to another.
If the secret (i.e. password-protected) area of your Digital Diary also contains data which
you want to transmit, read the section entitled "Working with Secret Data".
3.2.3 Saving Data
To save data to disk immediately after transmission, without further editing, choose 'File':
'Save'
. A file selector box is presented, prompting you to enter the desired file name and
path under which you want to save your data to disk (e.g. c:\data\private.twf).
Unless otherwise specified, the FA-127 automatically adds the extension ".twf". We rec-
ommend that you do not enter an extension, unless you specifically want to use some
other extension. The FA-127 will respect your decision, though we do suggest that you
only use ".twf".
As soon as you have specified a file name and path, choose
[OK]
to start saving to disk.
If the file name already exists, a query is presented, asking you whether you wish to
overwrite the existing file.
Note:
If the mode you save to a file has more than 16,000 entries, you may not be able to
open the file.
3.2.4 Loading Data
In this section we want to comment briefly on the reading of files that have been saved
to disk.
Loading TWF files
To load a file, choose 'File':
'Open...'
. The same file selector box is presented that is also
used for saving data. It contains a list of all the files with the extension "twf" in the current
directory. If you want to display file names with other extensions, specify the relevant
mask directly under "File name" or select one of the predefined masks via "List files of
type".
Next, set the path and name of the desired file and choose
[OK]
. The relevant file is now
read in and displayed in the display window of the database area that was active when
the file was last saved.
Loading Data from Other Link Programs
If you own another link program that does not allow you to load data directly, then the
simplest way of reading its data is to transmit it from the other link program back to the
CASIO Digital Diary and then to the FA-127.
