CHAPTER 17:
REMOVABLE MEDIA
17.1 Overview
All EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS models provide a Removable Media slot, labeled Memory Card, which
supports standard microSD flash memory cards. microSD cards can be used to save and load applications,
to capture graphics screens and to log data for later retrieval.

17.2 microSD Cards
When the microSD card format was introduced, it was originally called TransFlash. Cards labeled either
microSD or TransFlash, with up to 32GB of flash memory, are compatible with the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS
memory card slot (larger sizes were not tested at time of publication).
The Memory slot is equipped with a "push-in, push-out" connector and a microSD card can be safely
inserted into the memory card slot whether the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS power is On or Off.
To install a microSD card: Align its 8-pin gold edge connector down, facing the front of the EXL10/XL10
PRIME OCS unit; then carefully push it all the way into the Memory slot. Ensure that it clicks into place.
To remove the microSD card: Push in on the top of the card gently to release the spring. The card pops
out for removal.
17.3 microSD File System
The microSD Memory slot uses the PC-compatible FAT32 File System. This means that a PC, with a
microSD-compatible card reader, can read files that have been written by the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS
and can write files that can be read by the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS.
However, the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS does not support long filenames, but instead implements the 8.3
filename format. This means that all file and directory names must consist of up to eight (8) characters,
followed by an optional dot, and an optional extension with up to three (3) characters.
Directories and sub-directories can be nested up to 16 levels deep as long as each pathname string does
not exceed 147 characters.
