Memory card
The memory card supplied with the instrument is used to store session and
configuration files. If you run studies and sessions without a memory card, it will
not store session files. In that case, running a session will automatically
overwrite the information in the instrument's memory from the previous session.
Essentially, lack of a memory card converts a multi-session instrument into a
single session instrument.
Compatibility
Steps have been taken to make sure the SoundPro is compatible with as many
SD cards as possible. Because of the many SD card manufacturers and the
varying low-level formats they use, 3M can only guarantee operation with cards
available from 3M. If using a memory card with 2GB or less, FAT 16 format is
required. For cards ranging from 2GB to 32GB, a FAT 32 format is required.

Formatting a card with the SoundPro
The SoundPro has the capability of doing a Quick Format or Full Format.
A Quick Format is all that is required in most cases to format a card in FAT
16 or FAT 32. A Full Format will verify each sector of the card as it formats
with the penalty of taking much longer.
Insert the card in the computer's card reader drive.
Open Windows Explorer.
Right-click on the CD drive listed under My Computer.
From the right-click menu, select Properties.
CAUTION: A Quick Format may be used to delete all files from the card.
