Saving Multiple Disk Files with One Command
To save more than one register of the same type to the disk, you can
specify a range of registers to save. All registers in this range are saved
with a common file name, to which the 8150 adds a two digit number
according to each register’s place in the range. For instance, if you want
to save eight registers in the range 3 through 10, you assign a single file
name, to which the 8150 adds the numbers 01 through 08, to indicate in
what order the registers originally appeared.
Follow these steps to save multiple files of the same type to disk with a
single command.
STEP 1: In the Disk menu, press the Save Recall softkey, followed by
the Save softkey.
STEP 2: To specify the range of registers that you want to save, use
the numeric keypad to type the number of the first register in
the range, followed by the decimal point, followed by the
number of the last register in the range. Then press the
Register Number pushknob to enter the range.
For instance, to specify registers 3 through 10, type 3 – . – 10,
then press Register Number. The pushknob display now
reads 3 thru 10.
STEP 3: Turn the File Type pushknob to select the type of file you
want to save. You can save a range of registers of any file type
except for PER(sonality) and ENG(ineering), which each
have only one register available. Note that you can save a
range of image files (TIF, YUV, or Y10), but the range is
limited to two, since there are only two framestores (registers)
in the system.
STEP 4: Using the Cursor and Character pushknobs, or an external
PC AT keyboard connected to the Control Panel, type a file
name, which all registers in the specified range will use when
saved to disk. A two digit number is automatically added to
the file name to indicate the order that each register has in the
sequence. If you type a name longer than six characters, this
two digit number replaces the seventh and eighth characters
in the original file name.
For instance, for a range of timeline effect registers using the
file name ENDING.TIM, the files on on the disk appear as
ENDING01.TIM, ENDING02.TIM, etc. However, if the file
