Flashing

As described earlier, when loading data from a CD-R/ RW drive, the VF80EX creates a new program on the current drive, which is the load destination.

Therefore, “New PGM” is shown on the right of the flashing program number.

The program number for the newly created destina- tion program is the next number to the highest exist- ing program number.

For example, if there are 8 existing programs (“P01” through “P08” ) on the current drive, the newly cre- ated program is numbered “P09” .

When loading data from more than one disc, the first disc will be ejected immediately after all disc data has been loaded, while “Insert Disk!” appears on the screen. After inserting the second disc, the VF80EX automati- cally resumes the load operation.

After completing loading all the discs, the above screen appears.

<Note>

You cannot abort the load operation before com- pleted.

<Note>

If you rotate the [JOG] dial while the above screen (“Destn PGM Select” ) is shown, you can select an existing program on the current drive as the desti- nation. However, as mentioned earlier, when load- ing data using CD-R/RW drive you cannot actually load data to the existing program by overwriting the program data.

If you press the [ENTER/YES] key (see the next step) while selecting an existing program as the destina- tion, the display shows “Void!” and the VF80EX ig- nores the operation.

7While “New PGM” is shown, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The VF80EX starts the load operation.

The recorded space shown on the display is counted down while the load operation progresses.

It will take some time for loading all data.

The following display example shows that the data of the backup number “B01” is being loaded to “P08” which is newly created on the current drive.

<Note>

If there is not enough available space for loading on the current drive, the display shows “Disk Full!” and the display returns to the previous screen.

When completing the load operation, “Load Com- pleted!” appears on the display (as shown below) and the VF80EX stops access to the drive, while the disc in the CD-R/RW drive is automatically ejected.

Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) to exit the setup mode.

<About load error>

If an error occur for some reason during the load operation, the error message as below ap- pears.

If it appears, press the [EXIT/NO] key.

The display returns to the previous screen be- fore performing the load operation.

Note that loaded data before the error message appears is all invalid.
