Instrument State Files

When an instrument state is saved to a floppy disk, some or all of the following files may be produced. This
depends upon which arrays are selected under the
the selected save format is BINARY or ASCII. The "XX" part of the file name (FileXX) refers to the number of
the instrument state. The first instrument state saved to any particular disk will be named "File00", and each
successive state saved to that disk will be numbered "1" higher than the previous state (for example,
"File01"and "File02").
Files with .i and .p File Extensions
The following two files (.i file and .p file) are always produced, except when
These files were separated to allow backward compatibility with older instruments. The binary data
contained in these two files is not meant to be read in an external computer:
