Fostex Comprehensive Guide to VF160EX Features and Functions

Selecting a Program

If there are several programs set on the disk, there may be a need to select a target program. The following instructions are based on the VF160EX in the STOP status in the Normal Display.

1. Press the [PGM SEL] key in the STOP state.

The current program number and “Select PGM!” appears, then the “Sure?” message starts flashing on the LCD.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial display to select the target program number (flashing).

“New PGM?” appears when turning the [JOG] dial clockwise. Use this to create a new program, according to the instructions as described above.

3.Select the target program number (flashing), then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The Normal Display of the selected program appears.

1. Press the [SETUP] key in the STOP state.

The system goes to the SETUP mode and proceeds to the SETUP menu selection display.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select the “Delete” menu, then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The current program number appears and “Sure?” flashes (****: Title). To cancel the ERASE procedure, press the [EXIT/NO] key while “Sure?” is flashing.

Erasing a Program

The user can erase unnecessary programs. Note that there must be sufficient storage space (disk space available to store new/more data) on the hard disk to record or edit existing programs. By erasing an unnecessary program from the disk, the user can make more disk space and thus, ensure smooth operations of other functions.

<Precaution>

•The program started prior to executing the ERASE function is the program that is going to be erased. Therefore, the user must start the program to erase according to the “Selecting a Program” instructions, described above.

•If a program is erased when there is only one program on the disk, then only the data saved for that program is erased. Note that an empty program 1 (P01) will remain on the disk even in such case.

•Let’s take the following case as an example. As shown in the figure below, there are five programs from P01 to P05. Note that the program numbers always remain in sequential order. Therefore, when program number P03 is erased, there will only be a total of 4 programs. This means though the data on P03 is erased, and the numbers are sequentially corrected (no number is skipped). Note that only the contents of P03 are erased and the numbers are merely reassigned in sequential order according to the number of programs available. Simply put, P04 becomes P03 and P05 becomes P04, when P03 is erased, as in this case.

		P02		P03		P04		P05
P01
					Delete
	P01		P02		P03		P04

•Remember that it is not possible to UNDO/REDO (unerase or re-erase) the ERASE feature once a program is erased.

3.Press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The Normal Display of the next program following the program erased appears.

Editing a Program Title

Note that the program title can be assigned when “Creating a New Program” as described in the previous section. However, the user must follow the instructions below to edit a title (or Tentative Title) that has already been assigned.

<Precaution>

Note that only the title of the program that is started up can be edited.

The user cannot choose a program from the SETUP mode. Therefore, the user must first start the program to edit, before going to the SETUP mode.

1.Press the [SETUP] key in the STOP state.

The system goes to the SETUP mode and proceeds to the display to select a SETUP menu.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select the “Title Edit” menu, then press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The title (name) of the current program started appears. The left end of the title is highlighted and flashes. (the flashing cursor indicates that it is editable)
