Chapter 4 Operation
Quit Command
The Quit command consists of three menus which are used to conclude or pause the
execution of a route. Figure 14 is an example of the Quit command. An explanation of
each sub-menu is given in the remainder of this section.

Save & Exit
The Save & Exit option is used to save the results of the current route to floppy disk, and
then exit the menu system. Before the route is saved, the floppy is checked for available
disk space, and then either the route is saved, or the user is prompted to insert a disk with
adequate storage space. Once the save is complete, the next time the MMI is used, it will
attempt to load in a new route from disk. This option may be used at any time during a
route, even if no or few readings have been collected.
Note: After saving a given route, the route data is still stored in backup memory until it
is overwritten by subsequent route data.
Break
The Break option is used to pause the execution of the current route. This allows the user
to completely shut down the MMI, then restart it at a later time, continuing the active
route. The route information that was initially loaded from floppy disk is stored in the
backup memory, and this is the data that the MMI uses while executing a route. Even if a
different floppy disk is inserted into the MMI during the break, the current route will still
be resumed. If the user wishes to abort the reading of a route after returning from a break,
the MMI must be powered on and then an Exit or Save&Exit command may be issued.
