Setting the generator’s path

You can configure the generator to access resource files from any media storage location. When you are in Basic mode the generator's Source list, Content list of Sequence list display items in the folder that the format, image or sequence path parameters are pointing to. However, the path parameter for formats, images and sequences can be changed either through the command line or through the front panel using the Browse mode which is shown below.

Changing the path parameter enables you to configure the generator to access format, image, and sequence files stored on the media location that you specify. For example you can set the format path to the PC card so that when you press the Source key in Basic mode you get a list of formats in the PC card's Format folder. You may wish to set the image path to the PC server so that when you press the Content key in the Basic mode you access a list of images from the server's Image folder. You can set the format, image or sequence path to any of the media storage locations (i.e. flash memory, PC card, or on a file server).

Note: You can also set the generator's path using the command line interface. For instructions refer to the User's Guide.

To set the generator’s path using the front panel:

1. Place the generator in Browse mode by holding down the Tools key until the media menu appears on the generator’s display as shown below.

2. Choose the desired medium by pressing the adjacent soft key. The folders on the selected medium (for example flash memory) appear on the generator’s display as shown below.
