until: "Stop" is entered from the menu bar, the disk/diskette fills to capacity, or the
equipment is powered down.
3-6b2. "Automatic" File Start operation activates data save with the first fastening
when the cycle counter is at zero. If the equipment operates in Manual File Start for
several cycles and is then switched to Automatic File Start, data save will not
continue. After Automatic File Start is initiated, data will save to the file until: "Stop" is
entered from the menu bar, the disk/diskette fills to capacity, or the cycle count is set
back to zero (as in a power down situation). If Stop is input from the menu bar while
Automatic is chosen, the FILE START FUNCTION will default to Manual operation.

To activate data collection in Automatic File Start, view the Data File Utility screen to
verify that "Automatic" has been selected as the File Start Function, and that the
Cycle Number display is showing "000000" in the upper right corner of the screen.
When the machine begins the first fastening cycle, the Sampling Status display will
flash the [DATA SAMPLING] message in the upper right corner of the screen.

NNNN = The 4-character [FILE NAME] set-up on the Data File Utility screen.
CCCC = A computer-assigned file number from "0001" - "9999". When the file

to the file, then it will increment the file number.
PRN = The file type extension
3-10b. To stop data collection, move the cursor on the menu bar to STOP and depress the
