B. Advanced functions
(1) Create a Firmware Image from a card
• Create the image file from the firmware data written into the compact flash.
Create the image file by dumping directly the data in the card. This function allows us to
save the various type of firmware data in the compact flash as the image file and hold as
print data.
• The created FW image file is automatically compressed and created as the Compressed
firmware file (*.img.gz).
The image file is written into the compact flash in the uncompressed form, however, the
uncompressed data would occupy too much capacity, which makes file control difficult.
Therefore this tool doesn't create uncompressed firmware file (*.img).
(2) Format a card
• Make format of the compact flash in FAT or vxWork form.
• To write the firmware data into the compact flash, the card should be formatted in FAT
form to clear (initialize) the description of the compact flash.
NOTE
• In current version, only FAT format is available but not vxWork format.
• After the firmware data is written into the compact flash, it becomes the own file
style that is different from the FAT, and the compact flash that the firmware data is
written cannot be browsed on the Windows OS.
(3) Display information about a card
• Display the information of the firmware data written into the compact flash.
The information to be displayed is according to the type of written FW data.
• For the series of Di3510/200/250/350 series, MSC version is displayed.
• For the series of C650/C550/C451/C450/C450P/C353/C353P/C352/C352P/C351/C350/
