part of a custom order. Please use the Contact section to reach Sales for additional details.
Mass Storage Mode
Placing a jumper on the USB mass storage selector labelled ”A”, the unit will appear to any PC as a mass
storage device when powered, giving you access to the contents of the SD memory card directly.
Please note, the speed of data transfers in mass storage mode is limited, and is only intended to be used
in situations where an external SD memory card reader is not available.
SD Memory Card
The SD Memory Card is used to store all user fonts, bitmaps, 9-slices, animations and start-up settings.
The start-up settings are stored in a binary file called AUTOEXEC. This file contains a simple stream of
characters stored just as they would be if they were sent to the display at runtime, this will store all the
commands to change the initial settings for your application. Start-up settings are stored in this location
alone; therefore, simply removing the AUTOEXEC file will restore the display to factory defaults.
Please refer to the Protocol Manual a
for a complete
list of available commands executable not only at start up but runtime as well.
