Working with Files on the Personal Computer
You can work with the fi les saved in your eXplorist or fi les located on an SD card in the
eXplorist (optional). Using the personal computer, you have complete access to moving,
renaming, modifying, or deleting any of the saved files. Special care should be taken
whenever working with saved files as unwanted results may occur. It is advised that you
backup any files that you plan on editing in case something unexpected happens.
