3.3.2 COPY		- Operator	Responses
	Question			Answer
	Cassette or Ram file			C = Cassette file
	INPUT file	or Xfr		R = RAM file
	(RS-232)?			X = RS-232 communication channel to a
				host computer.

Enter	Input file	Name of Input file,extension
name,	type	(default ,D)

The above two questions are repeated for the OUTPUT file.

Baud Rate?You have selected Xfr mode. Maximum Baud rate is 8000. (use 8000/4800/2400/ 1200/300) Note: if cassette selected Baud Rate is not asked for.

3.3.3 Timing considerations

When copying a file from a host computer (via the RS-232 communications channel) to a RAM file in the FTU, a delay of two (2) seconds must be provided by the host computer after sending each line before the next line of the fiIe is sent to the FTU. This delay must be increased to thirty (30) seconds per line when the FTU is storing the file on a data cassette.

NOTE: The transfer to/from a host computer is terminated by the last line containing the termination word END followed by a carriage return. (i.e.“END” then press Return)

3.4 (UN)LOADING TO CASSETTE/RAM

Either program “PLOT” or program “LOAD” may be used to unload data from a Data Logger.

“PLOT” contains all the features of “LOAD” but “PLOT” (un)loading is slower and requires a larger amount of RAM (memory).
