EDIT DATA DUMPING TO/LOADING FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

The edit data entered in the EDL memory can be transmitted to an external source via the RS-232C connector. For instance, operation and control can be exercised in a wide range of systems as shown below by uploading data to a computer or down- loading data from a computer.

1)Off-line editing is possible, and edit data can be used by an on-line system.

2)Edit data can be stored on a hard disk or floppy disk.

3)The edit data can be checked on the computer CRT screen or in printout form.

!Press the LOAD (SHIFT + A2) button. The A2 button lamp now flashes.

@The data is sent from the computer or other external unit. The format in which the data is sent must be the format which was set for set-up menu item No.208 (EDL FORMAT). The event number being received is displayed in the counter area.

#The operation is completed when the computer stops transmitting the data or when the EDL memory is full. To stop the transfer at any time, press the ALL STOP button.

<Notes>

1.External device settings are required for dumping or loading data.

2.Unless the data is either the corrected or edited EDL data or in a format which is supported by this unit, not only will it be impossible for the data to be received but the unit may malfunction as well. For this reason, users without a detailed knowl- edge of personal computers or EDL data should refrain from conducting these operations.
