Page 8: Configuration
When connected to a Windows computer the USB Plug&Play mechanism will automatically detect the Xtreme/Multi-I/O as a small Mass Storage Device. This allows the board’s settings to be defined by a file which is “placed” onto the storage device implemented on the product. The storage space is very limited (about 8K bytes) and is only intended for the files related to the board’s setup. - Page 9 Connect Tech - Xtreme/Multi-I/O - Users Guide Document: CTIM-00116 Page 9 of 50 Date: Apr. 14, 2015 Revision: 0.02 Connect Tech Inc.
