must be set to
"DBF Files (*.DBF)"
. After starting the loading process with [OK] the
exported data in Excel is ready to be edited further.
Importing data from other programs is carried out in the same way but in the opposite
order. Therefore, first of all save the required data in another program in one of the data
formats, then choose the data field in the FA-127 to which the data should be imported
and to actually transfer the data, select 'Import...' from the 'File' menu.
3.2.12 Calling up the Spreadsheet Transmission Program
Some CASIO Digital Diaries have a built-in spreadsheet function. By selecting 'Run
Spreadsheet' from the 'Casio' menu you can call up the transmission program – used to
send and receive data from spreadsheets – directly, without having to leave the FA-127.
This transmission program is included with the spreadsheet card or with Digital Diaries
which have an integrated spreadsheet. Install the transmission program as described in
the user manual included and specify under which path and file name the transmission
program is to be found using
'Path to Spreadsheet'
.
A dialog box is presented where
you can enter the complete path and file name of the transmission program through the
keyboard or a file selector box. Enter the name then using the keyboard (e.g.
c:\llink\llink.exe) or choose
[Browse]
to select the program via a file selector box as
usual.
If the spreadsheet transmission program is saved under the path name entered previ-
ously, then it is possible to change directly to the transmission program via
'Run
Spreadsheet'
. Quitting the program automatically brings you back to the FA-127. Fur-
ther details on the spreadsheet transmission program can be found in the user manual
provided.
As the spreadsheet transmission program is a DOS application, problems may arise
especially with slower computers, if other programs are running parallel. In this case you
should quit the parallel-running programs or call the transmission program up directly
under DOS.
3.2.13 Quitting the Program
To quit the program choose 'File':
'Exit'
. The FA-127 then saves its basic settings, such
as the size and position of the main window, so that these are available again next time
you run the program. If the program contains unsaved data, a query is presented.
