You will go through these different combinations later in the tutorial, and there is

also a route map in the Menus and Screens section.

These settings can be stored as a Configuration. Saving a number of configurations

enables you to switch quickly between the different set-ups necessary at different

sites, or when analysing the canopy of different crops with different characteristics.

Note: The Workabout’s file structure is very similar to a standard DOS system.

Files, such as SunData configuration and data files, are stored in hierarchical sub-

directories either in the

Internal Disk (part of the Workabout memory configured as

a disk, called drive

M), or on the Solid State Disks (SSDs) A and B.

♦ Press Menu, File, Save Config’n.

Type in an appropriate

Name for the

configuration. This will save it into the

\SUN\ directory on the Internal disk,

which for the moment will be

satisfactory.

Note: The Tab key is very useful when setting options generally - it pops up a

scrollable list of all the options available. It is particularly important when saving

and loading files, as it calls up a full list of all existing files and directories for you

to scroll through. Use

On/Esc to exit from these directories.

Since you are just about to start taking readings, you also need to tell SunData the

name of the file you want to use for storing the data, and what file format you want

the readings to be stored in.

Press Menu, File, Data Storage, Enter. The default file setting is A:\DATA.PRN.

This will give you an easily

Printable text file. If you prefer to work with

spreadsheets, choose the data file type

Comma separated. For the Disk, specify A,

and for the moment ignore B and C. Do not put data files into the internal memory:

the space there is needed for other things.

File Saving

As soon as you have opened a data file, the SunData program looks after it for you.

The file will be automatically saved whenever you exit the SunData program or

when the Workabout is switched off. When SunData is re-started, the most recently

used file is automatically re-opened. New data will be appended to it - not

overwriting earlier data.

If you want to start a new file, type a new file name in the

Store data to sub-screen.

"Hot Keys"

You may have noticed in the menus that many of the commands have a short-cut or

Hot Key combination, for example the dialog box obtained by

Menu, File, Data

Storage, Enter

can be invoked from the main SunData program simply by pressing

∪

∪∪

∪+D.

Try these out from time to time as you become more familiar with SunData program.

Note however that if you are already in a dialog box, you will need to

On/Esc from

it before the Hot Key will work.
