3.2 COMMAND FILES

Once the format of the (un)load or print/plot output has been decided, the operator commands (entered into the keyboard in response to the questions listed below) may be saved in a RAM file or on cassette.

This feature saves the operator entering all the responses every time a plot or unload is performed. Instead, the operator simply enters in the command file name and the (un)load or print/plot proceeds automatically using the pre-saved operator commands from that command file.

Many command files

may be created and saved, allowing command files for

a variety of loading,

unloading, printing or plotting operations.
