Fig. 2.25 The File Menu
A. Save Dataframe as _____: Saves all system settings and graphics plates as a new dataframe file.
After pressing the E key, enter file name in the blank space provided. The file name can be only eight
characters long and is not case sensitive. Do not add an extension because ".DIQ" will be automatically
appended to the end of the file name. Press E again to create the new dataframe file.
B. Save Dataframe: Saves all system settings and all graphics plates to the current dataframe file. This
selection does not prompt for a file name. The settings and graphics plates in the dataframe file will be replaced with
the new ones. Use the first menu choice (Save Dataframe As...) and enter a new file name if you do not want to
overwrite an existing dataframe file.
Note: Any changes made to the system settings or graphics plates must be saved before exiting Turbo or they
will be lost.
C. Load Dataframe: Loads the system settings and graphics plates from an existing dataframe file. The
settings are automatically engaged after the they have been loaded.
Once E has been pressed, a window displaying a list of all available dataframe files will be displayed (see
Figure 2.26). Use Z Y to make a selection then press E again to load and engage the dataframe file.
Notice that this window also provides several additional features. The current path is listed at the very top of the
window (in the example in Figure 2.26 the path is "E:\TURBO14\*.*". To move up the directory tree, select "..\"
and press E . To move to a different drive or directory, select the drive letter (example: "[C:]") or directory name
and press E . To delete a file, select it and then press A + d . To sort the files by name press A + s.
