Setting/Clearing Flag Bits
Pressing the tone key in the File Viewer display opens the “ Set or Clear Flag Bit” screen. The
options for setting or clearing flag bits include: set or clear the selected file, set or clear all the files in
the current folder, or set or clear all files on the volume.
All files created by the 722 have their archive bit set to on.
Automatic Flag Clearing
The recorder can be set to clear the flag bit of copied files automatically. When enabled in the Setup
Menu option File: Copy Flag Reset, all files copied internally by the recorder will have their
flag bits cleared on the original file. Flags are not cleared when copying to a computer over FireWire.
File Copying Among Available Drives
Audio files are easily transferred between CF and the 722’s hard drive. File transfer is initiated with
the setup menu option File:Copy File.
The Copy File menu has four options for each media type:
Copy All [Media] > [Media]:
Copies all files from one media to the other.
Last 24Hr [Media] > [Media]:
Copies files created in the last 24 hours between media.
Last 48Hr [Media] > [Media]:
Copies files created in the last 48 hours between media.
Flagged [Media] > [Media]:
Copies all files with their archive bit set between.
Once file copying has begun, the 722 searches the source media for the selected files. The 722 will
then search the destination drive looking for duplicate file names. The LCD will report the number
of files found, the number of duplicates found and the net number of files to be copied and prompt
to continue.
Pressing the enter key or controller button begins copying. The LCD will report progress of the file
being copied and the number of files remaining to be copied. When file copy is complete, the 722 will
report the number of files successfully copies and show a progress bar showing the percentage of
files successfully copied.
Error Conditions:
If a file is to large for the destination medium, the 722 will give you the option to skip the it or cancel
copying. If an error occurs during file copying, the 722 will prompt to cancel the transfer. When the
destination medium is full, the 722 will report the error and end the transfer.
