2.6.3 Media Check
This function will analyze the media quality. There are two modes which you can set
- Normal and Safe.
The Safe media check will read through the flash and will not damage the content or
formatting of the media. By using the Setup Range function with the Safe function
you can determine whether you want to check a portion or all of the Media. It uses
the
buttons to determine how much of the flash is checked, the range can be
set from 1 to 100%. If the user selects 100% the process will take a lot longer.
The Normal media check function will check flash quality by measuring the read and
write speeds for the whole flash. Therefore, this function will delete the flash’s
content and format.
Note: USB/SD data will be erased during normal mode test
Measure Speed and Media check (Safe Mode) won’t damage the data in
the USB/SD Flash, but if the SD/USB has bad media it may cause some
data damage after the check fails.
2.7 Erase Functions
2.7.1 Quick Erase
This function will erase the USB/SD data content but will not erase the flash
FAT16/32 formatting. If the USB/SD format is not FAT16/32, the quick erase will not
start execute.
You can use the buttons to check each Flash Card’s status,
progress and information.
2.7.2 Full Erase
This will completely erase the whole flash card, including format and content. This
process will take more time. You can stop the process by pressing the ESC button.
Though the original format and content can no longer be read once the ESC button
is pressed and the USB/SD will need to be reformatted.
2.8 System Update
The purpose of this function is to update the system’s firmware version. Please save
an un-zipped update file to your SD/USB drive; do not put the unzipped files in a
folder. Select function 6.5 which is the System Update and then press OK. The
system will automatically start updating the system and when it is finished turn off
the system for 5 seconds. Then when the unit is powered on again the new firmware
version will have been installed.
