5.7.2.4 READ PROBE (F4)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU |
The Read Probe function key allows the user to read a probe denition from the USB memory device into the
Probe Library.
When a USB memory device, that contains a probe denition le, is inserted in the front panel, the Read
Probe screen displays a list of probe denition les (*.prb) found on the memory device. By scrolling up and
down the list using the arrow keys, the user can select the desired probe denition le. Pressing the ENTER
key (with the le selected) will open the le and display the probe denitions it contains. At this point a probe
denition can be selected and read into the Probe Library by pressing the ENTER key again.
If the selected probe denition in the USB memory device has the same ID as a probe denition that already
exists in the Probe Library, a warning message appears warning that the probe denition in the library will be
replaced. The user may press the YES function key to update the probe denition and exit, or press NO (or the
EXIT key) to return to the Assign Probe screen.
Tip: Probe denition les must be located in a folder named “\159x\probe\” on the USB memory device.
The les must have the extension “.prb” and contain probe denition data in the proper format. This
type of le can be created by using the Write File function in the Manage Probes menu.

MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU |
The Manage Probes screen is used for reading probe denition les from memory, writing denition les to

5.7.2.5.1 READ FILE (F1)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU | MANAGE PROBES |
The Read File function key allows the user to read a probe denition le (.prb) from the USB memory device.
A probe denition le may contain multiple probe denition les. The les have to be located in the folder
\159x\probe\ in the memory device and have the extension .prb.
A le is read by inserting a memory device containing a valid probe denition le into the front panel. When
READ FILE (F1) is pressed, a list of all probe les that reside on the memory device is shown. The le is se-
lected by using the using the arrow keys. The le is transferred to the Probe Library upon pressing the ENTER
key and conrming the action.
Important: Any probe denition in the Probe Library that has the same ID as any probe denition in the
memory device will be overwritten.
5.7.2.5.2 WRITE FILE (F2)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU | MANAGE PROBES |
The Write File function key exports one probe denition le or the entire Probe Library from the Super-Ther-
mometer to the USB memory device.
When in the Manage Probes screen, select either a single probe denition or ALL PROBES (at the end of
the list). When WRITE FILE (F2) is selected, the name of the le to which the denitions will be written is
displayed. Pressing the ENTER key will open the Alpha-Numeric Interface so the le name can be entered.
Pressing CONTINUE (F1) writes the le to memory.
