arrow buttons to scroll through the list of devices
found.
The first screen will show the overall capacity of
the selected drive. Press ENT to see the current
formatting of the drive and the total amount of
space on the drive being used.
System Info
The System Info utility will provide you with
information about the Copywriter Flash Duplicator,
such as firmware and controller information.
Measure Speed
This utility allows you to check the Read and Write
speeds of any flash drive loaded into the Flash
ports. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the
available drives, pressing ENT when you are on the drive you want to test. After a brief
analysis of the drive the Read Speed and Write Speed of that drive will be displayed.
If you feel your duplication is progressing slowly, run this utility on each drive to determine if
any of the drives have lower speeds than the others. Since duplication can only occur as fast
as the slowest drive, having a single drive with a lower write speed capability will slow down the
entire duplication cycle.
Verify Source
Use the Verify Source to verify the readability of your source flash drive. It is recommended
that you run this utility if you are seeing large amounts of duplication errors with a specific flash
drive when used as the source.
Rebuild Source
Flash drives that have never been written to before may cause errors during the Compare
process if you are duplicating in RAW mode. This will only affect RAW duplication mode.
Use the Rebuild Source during Compare operations if burning in RAW mode and you are using
Flash drives that have never used before. The Rebuild function will ensure that all sectors of
the blank Flash drives have been written to in order for the comparison to not generate
mistaken errors when attempting to compare the empty sectors.
Load Default
Use the Load Default utility if you need to return all settings and options back to the defaults.
Update Firmware
Use the Update Firmware utility if you need to update the firmware of your Copywriter Flash
Duplicator.
You should only update the firmware if you have verified with Microboards Technical Support
that there is a need to do so, and that the firmware files you have are appropriate for your
equipment.
Save
Many of the settings and options can be changed, but those changes will not be made
permanent unless you either Save the settings or run the correct Shutdown process. The
Save utility will make any changes you may have made to the various settings and options
permanent without running the Shutdown process.
