APPENDIX: Function Key Summaries
A: Channel Editing Window Function Keys
[F1] Help
A comprehensive Help file provides step-
by-step instructions for the field on which
the cursor is currently located.
[F2] Common
Pressing [F2] allows viewing and/or editing
of the COMMON DATA parameters. These
are parameters shared by all channels.
[F3] Disk Load
This option allows you to load a previous-
ly-stored channel data file from your com-
puter's hard drive (or from a floppy dis-
kette). When loading from a floppy diskette,
be sure to remember to include the drive
name (either a:\ or b:\).
[F4] Disk Save
This option allows you to save the current
screen's data to your hard drive or floppy
diskette. You will be asked to define a file
name and file path, just as you would if you
were saving a word processing file, for ex-
ample. When saving to a floppy diskette, be
sure to remember to include the drive name
(either a:\ or b:\).
[F5] Read ROM
This option is used to allow you to load cur-
rently-installed data from a VXR-1000 to
your computer. This allows you to store the
CE-22 Program Software
current data as an archive before perform-
ing service work, etc., or to check a VXR-
1000's data for possible programming er-
rors.
[F6] Write ROM
When you have completed the program-
ming steps for the VXR-1000 to be pro-
grammed, the Write ROM command is used
to send the data from the computer to the
radio.
Note that this command does not automat-
ically save the data to your computer's hard
drive (use the [F4] command for that pur-
pose).
[F7] PrintOut
This command allows you to print the cur-
rently-displayed channel data, for paper-file
or customer-copy purposes.
[F8] Quit
This command is used to exit from CE-22.
As with many programs, you will be asked
"Are You Sure?" before the "Quit" command
is actually executed.
B: Function Keys within Each Function Key
Group
This section will describe the features and
capabilities of the [F] keys which appear
when each of the function keys (described
in section A above) is pressed.
B-1: Sub-Functions within [F2] (Common)
[F1] Help
This command provides a Help file for each
available setting.
[F2] Enviro (Hardware Environment)
This window allows viewing of, but no
modifications to, the "Hardware Environ-
ment" window. Included in the "Hardware
Environment" category are such items as fre-
quency range, etc., which are fundamental
hardware conditions.
[F7] Data Dump
This is a hexadecimal data map for the cur-
rent data of the VXR-1000, and this function
is only used at the factory.
