CHAPTER 8: REMOVABLE MEDIA
8.1 Overview
All XLe/XLt models provide a Removable Media slot, labeled Memory, which supports standard Micro SD
Flash memory cards. Micro SD cards can be used to save and load applications, to capture graphics
screens and to log data for later retrieval.
8.2
Micro SD Cards
When the Micro SD card format was introduced, it was originally called TransFlash. Cards labeled either
Micro SD or TransFlash, with up to 2.0 GB of Flash memory, are compatible with the XLe/XLt Memory
slot.
The XLe/XLt Memory slot is equipped with a “push-in, push-out” connector and a Micro SD card can be
safely inserted into the Memory slot whether the XLe/XLt power is On or Off.
To install a Micro SD card: Align its 8-pin gold edge connector down, facing the front of the
XLe/XLt unit as shown in Figure 8-1; then carefully push it all the way into the Memory slot.
Ensure that it clicks into place.
To remove the Micro SD card: Push down on the top of the card gently to release the spring.
The card pops up for removal.

8.3
Micro SD File System
The XLe/XLt Micro SD Memory slot uses the PC-compatible FAT16 File System. This means that a PC,
with a Micro SD-compatible card reader, can read files that have been written by the XLe/XLt and can
write files that can be read by the XLe/XLt.
However, the XLe/XLt does not support long filenames, but instead implements the 8.3 filename format.
This means that all file and directory names must consist of up to 8 characters, followed by an optional
dot, and an optional extension with up to 3 characters.
Directories and sub-directories can be nested up to 16 levels deep as long as each pathname string does
not exceed 147 characters.
