Using Usb Flash Drive; Inserting The Usb Flash Drive - Sokkia im-101 Operator's Manual

32.USING USB FLASH DRIVE

It is possible to read in/output data from/to a USB flash drive.
• When using a USB flash drive, data is stored in the root directory. You cannot read/write data from/to
subdirectories.
• When using the iM, an MS-DOS-compatible text file can be input/output.

• When "S type" is selected, only files with an extension of "SDR" can be input/output. The iM cannot display
files with an extension other than "SDR" stored in a USB flash drive. Also, an output code data file can be
displayed only when "T type" is selected. (The same will apply to a case for saving a code while "S type"
is selected.)
• You can neither save a file under the same name as a read-only file, nor change/delete the name of a read-
only file. (However, this varies depending on the model or software you are using.)
• For "Communication Manual" that describes details on the communication formats used for inputting/
outputting data to/from a USB flash drive, please consult with your local dealer.
• When using the iM, you can use a USB flash drive with the capacity of up to 8GB.
