5.4 DATA PACK CFDP32M
The Data Pack (Compact
Flash) card supplied can be
used to stor
e pictures,
music and sound as well as
model memory data. The
memory card is a standard
commercial CF card, and
has a capacity of 32 MB.
CF cards are widely avail
ble as digital camera
accessories, and other
makes of card can certainly be used in the transmitter.
However, the variety available is extremely wide, and it is not
possible for us to guarantee that all of them will work propely.
Do not change the Data-Pack during the read or write pro-
cess; this can easily damage the data or even the Data
Pack itself.
INSTALLING / REMOVING THE DATA PACK
Switch off the transmitter
Open the hinged flap on the right-hand side of the trans-
mitter
.
The Data Pack slot is now visible.
INSERTING THE CARD
Hold the Data Pack card
with the Futaba label
facing the back of the
transmitter
. Push the
card into the slot as far as
it will go; this action
pushes out the eject but-
ton above the slot.
REMOVING THE CARD
Push the eject knob right in, and the car
d will be ejected. Take
the car
d out of the slot.
TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PC
You will need a card reader device which supports CF cards in
or
der to transfer data to or fr
om a PC. These are available from
electrical suppliers as digital photo accessories.
IMPORTANT
The Data Pack card must always be initialised in the transmit-
ter befor
e you write data to the car
d in the PC.
This is done by inserting the card in the transmitter and
switching it on.
During the initialisation process four folders (directories)
are created on the Data Pack:
BMP for pictures ( size 168x60 pix, BMP-Format )
WAV for sound files
WMA for music files
MODEL for model memory files
Experienced computer users will also be able to create the fo
ders themselves; if you wish to do this, please ensure that eve-
rything is entered in capital letters.
Files to be transferred must be copied into the appropriate
foder: for example, the picture of a model must go in the
“BMP” folder, otherwise the transmitter will be unable to find
the selected file and display it properly.
DATA SECURITY
The lifetime of a Data Pack card is mor
e than 100,000 write
cycles. If you experience read / write problems after a very
long period of frequent use, the card should be replaced.
We are unable to accept responsibility for the security of the
data on the card, and we always recommend that you create
a back-up copy to be on the safe side.
Once data is stored on a DP card - or in the transmitter - it
does not require electrical current, so you will not lose data if
you remove the transmitter battery. Although the transmitter is
fitted with a memory battery, it is only used for the time of day
and calendar functions.
MEMORY CAPACITY
Model memories:
The transmitter’
s inter
nal memory is sufficient for thirty
models.
The 32 MB D/P card can store data for up to 246 additio-
nal models. The transmitter requires around 132 kB for
each model memory with eight flight modes.
Picture, sound and music files can only be stored on the
D/P card.
The more picture, sound and music files are stored on the
D/P card, the lower the number of model memories availa-
ble to the user.
You can check the capacity of the D/P card and the num-
ber of vacant model memories available by calling up the
System menu and selecting the menu point “Information”.
If you need extra storage space, you can simply replace
the D/P card with a larger one, for example, with a capaci-
ty of 512 MB.
NOTES ON HANDLING D/P CARDS (CF CARDS)
Do not remove the D/P car
d during the data writing pro-
cess.
Do not subject the D/P card to powerful magnetic or elec-
trical fields, as this can cause data loss and permanent
damage to the card.
Do not subject the card to direct sunlight or conditions of
high aerial humidity.
Do not allow the card to contact dirt, water or other fluids.
Always hold the card by the edges when inserting or remo-
ving it.
Always insert the D/P card the correct way round (label
towards the back of the transmitter).
Always switch off the transmitter before inserting or remo-
ving the Data Pack card.
USB SOCKET
The D/P card slot also houses a USB socket. At present this is
only used at the production and calibration stages of manu-
facture.
