the file according to the rack size you specified.
By Doing the Following
1.Enter the file number (decimal) of the source data.
2.Enter the word number (decimal) of the source data.
Specify an input image, output image, integer, BCD, or Hex file.

1.Enter the file number (decimal) of the source data.
2.Enter the word number (decimal) of the source data.
