Software Setup and Operation
automatically saved with the file extension of PCX (e.g., Filename.PCX) so it is not necessary
for you to specify one. Data files are stored in binary format and can only be edited by PCX.
List File (*.LST)
List files contain a description of all the FX drive’s parameters in an ASCII character text file
which is created automatically whenever a data file is saved. You can use list files for
printing, word processing, troubleshooting or as documentation. You may also find that
comments added to a .LST file are helpful in troubleshooting. List files are automatically
saved with the same name as the data file with an extension of .LST (For example,
filename.LST).
List files (*.LST) cannot be edited within the PCX software. You must exit PCX and use a
text editor such as EDIT.COM. (refer to your DOS manual for instructions on how to use
EDIT.COM.)
Changing Directories
When accessing a file on disk, PCX will search for files in the current directory. You can
access other directories or disk drives by selecting the Change Dir option. Once you select
this option you can type in a new disk drive or sub-directory.
Menu System
PCX has a hierarchy system of menus as shown below. The top menu is the Main Menu. To
proceed into more specific levels, position the cursor on top of the desired option then press
the <Enter> key. You can position the cursor by pressing the highlighted letter of the desired
option, or by pressing the up/down arrow keys.
