A Project file can contain one or more of the following data files:
Structure (STR) file
Data Block (BLK) file
Shape Table (SHP) file
Acquisition window (ACQ) file
Report (RTF) file
Macro-Program (MCR) file
Added Files (WMV, PDF, JPG, or files that run in other windows applications).
All data files in a Project are contained within the Project file on disk, except Added files. Added files are stored separately on disk, and are opened in a separate program associated with the file type in Windows.
A separate window is used for displaying and manipulating the contents of each data file within the currently open Project.\
When a Project data file is opened, a copy of its contents on disk is put into the computer RAM memory and displayed in its own window.
ME'scope with a Structure (STR) and Data Block (BLK) Window Open.
When a Project data file is saved, its file contents in RAM memory replace the contents of the file stored in its Project file on disk.
If a Project is closed without saving changes to one of its data files, the contents of that file on disk are not changed.
