Basic Structure (page 63)
In this mode, you can save data to and load data from
memory cards and SCSI storage devices, such as hard
disks and removable cartridges. The File mode also
provides various functions for managing your data and
SCSI devices.
With the File Utility software (on the included CD-
ROM), you can use a computer to manage data stored
to memory cards or SCSI devices — even use it to
transfer data between the computer and the memory
card/SCSI device.
◆ Basic Procedure
1 Press the [FILE] button to enter the File mode.
(The indicator lights.)
2 Select the desired menu by pressing the [F1] - [F6]
buttons and execute each operation (Save, Load,
and so on).
3 Press any other mode button to exit from the File
mode.
• For detailed instructions on step #2, see the
explanations below.
File/Folder selection
The illustrations and instructions below show you how
to select files and folders on the memory card or SCSI
devices within the File mode.
New Folder Creation
From the Save display (called up via the [F2] button)
and the Rename display (called up via the [F4] button),
you can create new folders. This function lets you
conveniently and easily organize the numerous
important data files you create on the MOTIF.
