Transferring Display Templates via USB Flash
Memory
As an alternative to the above-described method, you can also use a USB flash-memory device to transfer
display-template files to your MOTIF XS in order to customize displays. To do so, follow the steps described
below.
n
Before starting this procedure, ensure that your MOTIF XS firmware has been upgraded to version 1.50 or later. For
details regarding firmware upgrades, visit the following web page.

1.
Copy the downloaded file 8E54OS_.PGM, which contains display template files for
use with USB flash-memory devices, to such a device.
2.
Ensure that the MOTIF XS is turned off and then plug the USB flash-memory device into
the USB TO DEVICE port.
3.
While holding down the [UTILITY] button and the cursor [L] button, press in the POWER
switch to turn the MOTIF XS back on. Be sure to keep the [UTILITY] and cursor [L]
buttons held down until the MOTIF XS logo is displayed.
A display for selecting a display template will appear.
4.
Select the desired display template using the cursor [<]/[>] buttons.
5.
When the message "PRESS [ENTER] TO SELECT" is displayed, press the [ENTER]
button.
The process of updating the display with the selected template will begin.
CAUTION
Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being stored (i.e., while a "Please keep power on" message is being
displayed).If this precaution is not observed, your MOTIF XS may be rendered unable to startup correctly in future.
6.
When the message "Please turn off" is displayed, turn the instrument off and then back
on.
The MOTIF XS displays will have changed to reflect the copied display template.
Restrictions on Display Template Usage
MOTIF XS display templates can be edited to create original display designs. It should be noted,
however, that individual image files can be no larger than 8 kilobytes in size, and in addition, each
must be named exactly the same as the corresponding file from the display template.
