6.2.2 File formats which can be read and saved
When the DU screen data read by the DU/WIN software is saved to a file, the following diversified formats are
available.
File formats which can be saved
• File format: DUP
This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DU/WIN software.
The file is saved as the binary code.
• File format: DUA
This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DU/WIN software.
The file is saved as the text document.
For this file, the setting of the DU screen data can be displayed or modified using the software called edi-
tor which edits the text.
However, if the data is modified incorrectly, the screen cannot be displayed correctly. It is recommended
not to modify the setting. Make sure to make the backup of the screen data if modifying it.
• File format: ITH
This format represents the data file used to transfer the data between the ROM writer and the personal
computer.
The file is saved as the Intel hexadecimal code.
• File format: GDT
This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DOS version drawing software (FX-PCS-
DU/AT-EE, etc.).
The DU/WIN software can read the data file by selecting “File” and “Open“.
The GOT-F900 screen data can be saved.
Compared with the DUP format and other formats, the file capacity can be reduced.

File format (extender) Data type
DUP File saved by the DU/WIN (this software)
DUA File saved in the text format by the DU/WIN (this software)
ITH File saved in the Intel hexadecimal format (ROM writer)
GDT File created by the DOS version drawing software
What is the extender
The file name consists of the major file name (up to 8 half-width characters), period (.) and the
extender (3 half-width characters).
The extender represents the file type (Example: EXE, COM = program file).
Because the general Windows software adds the unique extender, the software which has created
the file can be seen from the extender. In the Windows95, a long file name (up to 250 characters) is
available.
