2.8 FILE TYPES
2.8.1 FILES WITH A *.CSI EXTENSION
These are the EDLOG program files that the
user edits. When an EDLOG program is saved,
EDLOG automatically adds a .CSI extension to
the program's name. Existing .CSI files can be
loaded onto EDLOG by selecting FILE | OPEN.
Although .CSI files are ASCII files, editing the
files with a text editor can affect the EDLOG
files so that they no longer compile.
2.8.2 FILES WITH A *.DLD EXTENSION
These files are ready for the datalogger. They
are produced by compiling an EDLOG program
or by entering the datalogger program via the
keyboard/display. Whenever an EDLOG
program is compiled, any existing .DLD files
with the same name are overwritten. .DLD files
that were created with an older version of
EDLOG or created with the keyboard/display
can be documented by selecting
FILE | DOCUMENT DLD.
2.8.3 FILES WITH A *.PTI EXTENSION
These files are produced by the EDLOG
compiler when the Enable Trace option is
enabled. This option is accessed through
OPTION | ENABLE/DISABLE TRACE.
Whenever an EDLOG program is compiled, any
existing .PTI files with the same name are
overwritten.
.PTI files show the execution times for each
instruction, block (e.g., subroutine), and table as
well as the number of final storage locations
used per day. The execution times are
estimates. PTI files do not account for If
commands, Else commands, or repetitions of
loops. For some instructions, the execution
times are listed as 0. This occurs when the
execution time is difficult to calculate (e.g.,
Burst Mode).
.PTI files can be viewed by using the PC208E
View menu (Section 1.6). They can also be
loaded into a text editor.
2.8.4 FILES WITH A *.FSL EXTENSION
These files are produced by the EDLOG
compiler when the Enable Trace is enabled.
This option is accessed through
OPTION | ENABLE/DISABLE TRACE.
Whenever an EDLOG program is compiled, any
existing .FSL files with the same name are
overwritten.
.FSL files list the final storage labels. These
files can be viewed by using the PC208E View
menu (Section 1.6). They can also be loaded
into a text editor.
2.8.5 FILES WITH A *.PDF EXTENSION
These files are EDLOG programs that can be
printed or used with a text editor. .PDF files are
produced by selecting FILE | PRINT TO FILE.
2.8.6 FILES WITH A *.LBR EXTENSION
These are library files. Library files allow a
section of a program to be inserted into any
EDLOG program. To avoid programming
errors, the library file and the EDLOG file should
be for the same type of datalogger. For more
information on library files, see Section 2.4.4.
