Storage" mode to access the files on the IOP-2.The files are basic text files and can be opened
with any basic text editor. The default label names are "default", when the labels have the
"default" text, the IOP-2 will ignore the labels. There are the following restrictions when
creating your own labels:
• A maximum of 20 characters for each label name.
• The characters that can be used conform to the normal windows file naming conventions.
• The number of labels are restricted depending on the type of status screen view that is
selected in the "Status screen wizard". See
The four files are named:
• BotLeft.txt
• BotRight.txt
• TopLeft.txt
• TopRight.txt
The file names relate to the area of the status where they will appear.
Simply selected the file you wish to use as a label; open it with a text editor, change the
name and then save it back to the same location in the IOP-2 file system. If the file name
itself is changed the IOP-2 will not recognize the label.
An example of the status screen with new label names (using all four text files) is shown in
the figure below.

Upgrading the IOP-2 firmware

Upgrading the IOP-2 firmware
The IOP-2 contains firmware, which can be upgraded by the user by means of a firmware
upgrade. To perform the upgrade of the IOP-2 firmware the following steps should be
performed.
1. Plug the IOP-2 into a PC using the USB connection. Note: Connect the IOP-2 only to an
internal USB interface. Do not use an USB interface which is connected to your PC externally
(e.g. via a docking station, external USB-Hub or desktop PCs with front sockets).
2. The IOP-2 will automatically enter the "Mass Storage" mode.
