3.2.1.2 Working Directories
In this version of PC400, each major application keeps its own working
directory. The working directory holds the user files created by the
application, as well as configuration and initialization (*.INI) files.
This scheme was implemented because we use the underlying tools and many
of the applications (the server itself, library files, datalogger program editors,
etc.) in a number of different products. By providing a common working
directory for each major application, we hope to make it easier to keep track of
files and information as you move from one product to another.
The following figure shows the typical working directories for PC400 if the
default options were selected during installation.
PC400
Default directory for data files.
PC400\SYS
PC400 working directory – these files are controlled by the
communications server and should not be disturbed by the user
except when backing up the system. Tampering with these directories
or files can cause unpleasant consequences.
DevConfig
Default directory for Device Configuration Utility saved settings files.
CRBasicEditor
Default directory for user’s CRBasic datalogger programs.
EdlogW
Default directory for user’s Edlog datalogger programs .
SCWin
Default directory for user’s datalogger programs created in the Short
Cut program generator.
SplitW
Default directory for user’s Split parameter files and resulting reports
and output files.
View
Default directory for View’s window settings.
Lib
Libraries of pre-compilers, templates and help files used by CRBasic
Editor, including the CR200/205 pre-compilers used by PC400’s
communications engine, and libraries of settings supported by devices
configured by the DevConfig application.
3.2.2 Backing up the Network Map and Data Files
As with any computer system that contains important information, the data
stored in the PC400 working directory should be backed up to a secure archive
on a regular basis. This is a prudent measure in case the hard disk crashes or
