Everything is in the title...
3 types of extended memory files :
PROGRAM: we already have .raw extension for them
ASCII: they could take the .txt extension in FAT
DATA: we eiher can have an extension (.data?) or NO EXTENSION in FAT (data file could be an ascii file with the records on each line stored/read as a number)
All these files can be stored/loaded from /PROG/ directory
Or
/PROG/ directory coud also be renamed "/CONTENT/" directory for all 3 types of files...
Just brainstorming...
Load/save extended memory files from/to FAT

Re: Load/save extended memory files from/to FAT
I'd really like to have this feature too. It would make the calculator quite handy for collecting data and then exporting a file that could be loaded into Excel or the like for further manipulation.

If all goes well, you'll both eventually be happy!Dave Britten wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 2:54 amI'd really like to have this feature too. It would make the calculator quite handy for collecting data and then exporting a file that could be loaded into Excel or the like for further manipulation.
But I can't say when, and absolutely cannot confirm any unannounced products or features...

Neat! That's good enough for me for the time being.rprosperi wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:02 amIf all goes well, you'll both eventually be happy!Dave Britten wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 2:54 amI'd really like to have this feature too.

Re: Load/save extended memory files from/to FAT
Hello Bob, it seams that I missed your answer!?
Very good news indeed!
First, the ability to save data from computer (through USB) that can be read from a DM41X program and vice versa is a very handy feature for data consuming (or data producting) programs.
Second, this feature will seperate a bit more the DM41X VS DM42 features and improve DM41X attractivity.
Today... to load (a lot of) data in a DM42 program you need A LOT of STO instructions in your program!
For example, I am writing a program that calculates decompression stops for a dive using the Buhlman ZH16B algorithm. The algorithm uses 16x tissue periods, 32x N2 MValues and 32x He MValues! You can imagine the program initializing all the data in DM42 using 160 steps (2 steps per value)!
I'll have to wait patiently for this new feature
Sincerely,
Boubker.
