You will go through these different combinations later in the tutorial, and there is also a route map in the Menus and Screens section.

These settings can be stored as a Configuration. Saving a number of configurations enables you to switch quickly between the different set-ups necessary at different sites, or when analysing the canopy of different crops with different characteristics.

Note: The Workabout’s file structure is very similar to a standard DOS system. Files, such as SunData configuration and data files, are stored in hierarchical sub- directories either in the Internal Disk (part of the Workabout memory configured as a disk, called drive M), or on the Solid State Disks (SSDs) A and B.

♦Press Menu, File, Save Config’n. Type in an appropriate Name for the configuration. This will save it into the \SUN\ directory on the Internal disk, which for the moment will be satisfactory.

Note: The Tab key is very useful when setting options generally - it pops up a scrollable list of all the options available. It is particularly important when saving and loading files, as it calls up a full list of all existing files and directories for you to scroll through. Use On/Esc to exit from these directories.

Since you are just about to start taking readings, you also need to tell SunData the name of the file you want to use for storing the data, and what file format you want the readings to be stored in.

Press Menu, File, Data Storage, Enter. The default file setting is A:\DATA.PRN. This will give you an easily Printable text file. If you prefer to work with spreadsheets, choose the data file type Comma separated. For the Disk, specify A, and for the moment ignore B and C. Do not put data files into the internal memory: the space there is needed for other things.

File Saving

As soon as you have opened a data file, the SunData program looks after it for you. The file will be automatically saved whenever you exit the SunData program or when the Workabout is switched off. When SunData is re-started, the most recently used file is automatically re-opened. New data will be appended to it - not overwriting earlier data.

If you want to start a new file, type a new file name in the Store data to sub-screen.

"Hot Keys"

You may have noticed in the menus that many of the commands have a short-cut or Hot Key combination, for example the dialog box obtained by Menu, File, Data Storage, Enter can be invoked from the main SunData program simply by pressing

∪+D.

Try these out from time to time as you become more familiar with SunData program. Note however that if you are already in a dialog box, you will need to On/Esc from it before the Hot Key will work.
