USB Storage
14.1 File Handling (USB)
File handling is achieved via a USB port. Three types of files are used:
configuration files which contain all user programmed parameters, screen capture
files, and data log files. Configuration files can be written to and retrieved from the
USB port storage device. Data log files and bitmap files of screen captures can only
be written to the USB port storage device. To prevent loss of data, no more than
500 data log files should be written to the USB device. The IC6 will only display the
first 120 files (15 per page) and a message "More Files on the USB." All files will
be displayed on a computer.
The USB port is not set up for any other use. USB file handling allows for only eight
characters in a file name with an optional three-character extension.
14.1.1 USB Storage Devices
The following USB 2.0 storage devices have been tested for use with the IC6:
 Memorex® TravelDrive 512 MB Flash Drive
 SanDisk® SDCZ2-1024-A10 1 GB Cruzer Mini Flash Drive
 Lexar® 1 GB Sport Flash Drive
 Lexar 4 GB Lightning Flash Drive
 Kingston® 32 GB DataTraveler 150 Flash Drive
NOTE: The USB storage device is to be plugged directly into the IC6 front panel
USB port. Use of USB extension cables is not supported.
14.2 Directory Structure
All files will be written to and read from pre-defined directories. Three directories
will be defined for the three types of files written by the IC6.
 IC6CONF will hold configuration files
 IC6SCRN will hold screen capture files
 IC6DLOG will hold data log files
If the directories don't exist on the storage device attached to the USB port, the IC6
will create them at the first attempt to access the directory.
