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 702 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 external 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 702 searches the source media for the selected files. The 702 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 702 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 702 will give you the option to skip the it or cancel

copying. If an error occurs during file copying, the 702 will prompt to cancel the transfer. When the

destination medium is full, the 702 will report the error and end the transfer.

File Deletion

Any file or folder on either internal hard drive or CompactFlash can be deleted. Permanently delet-

ing files is a two-step process. Similar to Mac OS and Windows operating systems, the 7-Series uses a

“trash” folder to temporarily hold files which have been deleted. To send a file to the trash, perform

the following:
