QuadTech 1865 Instruction Manual page 49

When multiple tests are being conducted the results are stored to floppy periodically
(every 10 measurements) from an internal buffer. To be sure of storing all results
before power is shut down the file needs to be closed as discussed earlier. It is also
important to note that a file should be closed before changing or recalling a new set of
test conditions, otherwise the stored measurement results would not be consistent with
the setup conditions stored in the file.
3 1/2" floppy disks must be formatted for DOS compatibility on a PC or purchased
formatted from the manufacturer, 1.44M high density or 720K low density.
Turning the instrument on with a floppy disk in the drive may cause a loss of data.
The measurement results (one for each complete measurement cycle) are stored as a DOS
text file under its assigned identifying number (up to 8 characters) with an extension of
.65R. The test setup conditions are saved as a header at the beginning of a results file. A
sample file format is shown below. Notice that the results can be stored in either
engineering or scientific terms dependent on what the user has selected for setup
conditions.
