Opening and Closing Files
Opening a drive configuration file (.acb) reads a previously saved drive
configuration into the toolbox.
Ш
Ш Ш Ш To open a file
Or click
Check the Release Notes
located in the toolbox Help
menu, under About Toolbox.
1. From the File menu, select Open. The Open dialog box displays.
2. Select the file name and click OK.
Note If an older version toolbox is used to open a drive configuration file (.acb)
that was saved with a newer version, a Warning message is displayed. Either install
the version of toolbox the drive configuration file (.acb) was saved with (listed in the
Warning) or consult the toolbox Release Notes to see if they are compatible.
Ш Ш Ш Ш To close a file
w From the File menu, select Close.
Closing a file removes the configuration from the toolbox. If the configuration has
not been saved, a dialog box displays and asks if the configuration should be saved.
Saving Files
Or click
Saving a file writes the entire contents of the configuration to a drive configuration
file (.acb). The prior drive configuration file (.acb) is renamed to a Backup of
filename.icb file and used as a backup file.
Ш
Ш Ш Ш To save a file
1. From the File menu, select Save. The Save As dialog box displays.
2. Enter the file name and click OK. (Once a configuration has been saved, the
Save button saves the new file without asking for a file name.)
Tip Д Д Д Д The Save button also indicates that a change was made to the configuration
by highlighting (red) and becoming enabled. If the computer or toolbox fails when
the button is red, all changes since the last save is lost, so save files often (or make
sure that the Auto-save function is not disabled).
Upgrading a Configuration
Refer to Chapter 3, Using the
Toolbox.
The Upgrade command adds the required functions of a newer version of the product
to the current drive configuration file. For example, if the current drive configuration
file (.acb) is version V02.02.01B, and the application requires the functions of
version V02.03.00C, you would need to upgrade the .acb file.
