When operating with DIGSI
®
4, the device messages can be saved on the hard drive
of a personal computer before they are erased from the device. To do this, follow ex-
actly the same steps taken to retrieve the messages. Instead of double clicking on the
message group in the message list to open the group, select the option
File → Save
in the DIGSI
®
4 window menu bar. DIGSI
®
4 then automatically creates a directory for
the messages — if one does not exist — and saves the message group in this direc-
tory. For details, see the “DIGSI
®
4 Device Operation” Handbook, order no. E50417–
H1176–C097, Section 9.4.
When all of the desired message groups have been saved on the PC, they can be
erased from the device as described above.
Of course, you can erase the saved data from the hard drive of your PC as every file.
