New

The functionality of the File/New menu depends on the selection of a drive, or storage area in the All Folders (left pane) section of the Explorer.

  • If a disk drive is selected, choosing New displays New V8 or V9 Storage Area.

  • If an AccuMark storage area is selected, choosing New displays a submenu that contains commands for creating new AccuMark Editors and Parameter Tables in that open Storage Area.

A V8 Storage Area name is restricted to eight characters and data item names cannot exceed twenty characters. Version 8 Storage Areas data is backwards compatible to AccuMark software version 8.

 

AccuMark version 9 Storage areas support long file names, fifty character data item names, long fabric names, extended size names. To exchange piece and model with version 8 AccuMark software, use the export V9 to V8 feature from the File menu.
