5.7.2.4 READ PROBE (F4)
MAIN MENU | PROBE MENU |
The Read Probe function key allows the user to read a probe denition from the USB memory device into the
Probe Library.
When a USB memory device, that contains a probe denition le, is inserted in the front panel, the Read
Probe screen displays a list of probe denition les (*.prb) found on the memory device. By scrolling up and
down the list using the arrow keys, the user can select the desired probe denition le. Pressing the ENTER
key (with the le selected) will open the le and display the probe denitions it contains. At this point a probe
denition can be selected and read into the Probe Library by pressing the ENTER key again.
If the selected probe denition in the USB memory device has the same ID as a probe denition that already
exists in the Probe Library, a warning message appears warning that the probe denition in the library will be
replaced. The user may press the YES function key to update the probe denition and exit, or press NO (or the
EXIT key) to return to the Assign Probe screen.
Tip: Probe denition les must be located in a folder named “\159x\probe\” on the USB memory device.
The les must have the extension “.prb” and contain probe denition data in the proper format. This
type of le can be created by using the Write File function in the Manage Probes menu.
