Windows Explorer

The directories and files can be opened or copied either individually or as a
complete directory, the same as you would with any files contained on the hard
drive of your PC/Terminal. The operating system uses a default program to open
the files.

Drive Directory

The drive directory contains information about the drive configuration and the
reports which can be generated and retrieved from the drive. The directory
contains two sub directories as shown in

Figure 70

.

Figure 70 - Drive Directory

Config Subdirectory

The configuration subdirectory displays information about the drive modules
(

Figure 71

).

Figure 71 - Drive Config Directory

In this example:

FRN 9.002J is the firmware of the drive

French.ffw is the French language database

The parameters.csf file contains a copy of the drive parameters

The dim.bin file is for future use and is not active.

EXAMPLE

A .TXT file is, by default, opened by an ASCII viewer or editor. A .CSV file is
opened by Excel™, if your PC knows this file type has been associated with the
Excel program and the PC has Excel installed.

TIP

New firmware and language modules can be added to the drive by a simple
“Copy and Paste” or “Drag & Drop” operation of an .FFW file to this directory. If
the drive has not been previously placed into download mode, the files will
appear as write protected; similarly, “Copy and Paste” or “Drag & Drop” will not
work.
