<Hint>
In the save operation which requires more than one backup disk, if you use a backup disk which contains any program(s) saved, the display shows the screen as shown below.
<Notes>
� If the file name you are going to save duplicates with the existing WAV file name on the backup disk, "Warning! Already Exist" is shown on the screen and the save operation will not be executed. In such a case, change the file name according to the procedure above and carry out the save operation again. � A disk on which you have overwritten data many times may lower the access speed because of the disk fragmentation. Therefore, we suggest that you should use a newly formatted "clean" disk for backup.
This screen is asking you weather to delete all existing WAV files on the disk or to eject the disk. To delete all the existing files, select "All Delete" and press the [ENTER/YES] key. All existing files are deleted and the disk is ready for saving data. If you do not want to delete the existing files, select "Eject" and press the [ENTER/YES] key. The disk is ejected so you can insert another disk. To select between "All Delete" and "Eject", press the [REWIND] or [F FWD] key.
� If any other file but "******##.WAV" or folder, which cannot be recognized by the VF-16, is created on the backup disk using a personal computer, the VF-16 cannot calculate the available backup disk space accurately. Accordingly, it may happen that the save operation cannot be completed. You should note this when changing the file name or creating a folder using your computer.
Loading a WAV file
10. Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP] key) repeatedly until exiting the Setup mode. 1. Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup mode.
The display shows the screen for selecting the Setup menu.
<About WAV files saved>
�WAV file structure
A WAV file on the backup disk has 24 files (one file per track) in the root directory of the disk. The file names are "******01.WAV" through "******24.WAV" where "******" shows the file name specified in step 8 above and each number (01 - 24) shows the corresponding track number. If a track has no data recorded, the corresponding file with no data is created.
2. Use the [JOG] dial to select "Load PGM" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the screen for selecting the device from which the data is loaded. "SCSI" flashes.
3. While "SCSI" is flashing, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the drive name and "DOS Format", followed by the screen for selecting the WAV file to be loaded, showing the WAV file name and size. If no disk is inserted, "No SCSI Disk!" is shown.
###### 01.WAV
###### 02.WAV
###### 24.WAV
�WAV file structure which is saved over more than one disk
A WAV file is saved in order of track number (from track 1 to 24). During the save operation over more than one backup disk, the VF-16 always calculates the available space of the disk automatically. If the VF-16 knows that the available space gets smaller than the data size of the next track, it will change the disk when the data save of the current track is completed.
�WAV file size
When saving data by the WAV file format to a backup disk, the file size may sometimes increase compared with the data size in the current drive, depending on the recorded data condition such as the start time, end time, the data amount, etc. on each track. For example, if a track is recorded from ABS:0 (min.) to ABS:1 (min.) and ABS:10 (min.) to ABS 11 (min.), the file on the current drive has a length of 2 minutes, while the WAV file has a length of 11 minutes. Also as mentioned above, if a track has no data recorded, the corresponding WAV file with no data is created though the size is small.
4. Use the [JOG] dial to select the desired WAV file to be loaded.
If more than one WAV file with different file names (the first 6 characters) is saved, you can see each file name (by the first 6 characters) in order when rotating the [JOG] dial. You can also select "Eject" to remove the backup disk.
<Note>
The VF-16 cannot recognize any other file names but "******##.WAV" and cannot load such disks. A WAV file with an unique name (the first 6 characters) is recognized as an independent backup file and can be selected.
