As with any software, a backup copy of the PCX diskette should be made before starting.

PCX software is used primarily to set up and program a FX drive from a personal computer.

After you have completed the set up and programming, you can disconnect the PC since the

data you entered remains in the FX drive’s non-volatile memory.

In addition to doing the set up and programming, PCX allows you to look at setup data in the

FX drive and make changes.

You can upload drive data from the FX drive to the PC and store it on a floppy disk or on your

computer’s hard disk. You can also download drive data from your PC to the FX drive.

You can create a file through the Disk File Operations menu without being connected to the

drive. You can save this file for later downloading to the non-volatile memory of the FX

drive.

You can also recall a previously created and saved file from disk to the PC memory. You can

then edit the file and save it back to the disk or download it to the drive.
