XL7 User Manual
Cscape can also save an application directly to a MicroSD card, which is plugged into the PC’s MicroSD
compatible card reader by selecting the Export to Removable Media item on the Cscape File menu.
9.7 Using Removable Media to View and Capture Screens
The XL7 OCS File System uses bitmap files with the .BMP extension or JPEG files with the .JPG extension
to store XL7 OCS graphic screen captures.
To view a captured XL7 OCS screen, use the Removable Media Manager to find and highlight the desired
.BMP or .JPG file, and then press Enter.
To capture an XL7 OCS screen, turning On the assigned Screen Capture Control Register will capture the
current XL7 OCS graphics screen and write it to the MicroSD card using the assigned Screen Capture
Filename.
Before capturing an XL7 OCS screen, Cscape must first be used to assign a Screen Capture Control
Register and Filename in the application. To do this, first open the Graphics Editor by selecting the View
/ Edit Screens item on the Cscape Screens menu. Next select the Screen Capture item of the Graphics
Editor Config menu and then enter a Control Register and Filename.

must be limited to the “8.3” format where the filename contains eight characters a period then a three-
character extension. The entire filename including any path must be less than or equal to 147
