6.4 SD CARD

An SD Card provides the opportunity for information that is stored on the Magstim Rapid² to be
transferred to a PC and viewed using any standard PC text editing software package. Information is
transferred onto the SD Card via the „File Maintenance‟ Screen.
To save a stored file onto an SD Card, insert the SD Card into the socket situated on the side of the UI
(see Section 3). Select the „File Maintenance‟ screen and select the „Local Store‟ panel. Select a file by
turning the Rotary Control Knob until the arrow points at the chosen file. Press the „Export‟ Button.
The screen will display the command „Please wait, Data Transfer in Progress‟ the file will appear in the
„Memory Card‟ store panel.
The file is now saved onto the SD Card.
The UI only supports the short DOS file name convention of 8 characters for the file name and 3
characters for the file extension when reading from or writing to the SD Card. Long file names on the
UI will automatically be reduced down to 8 letters for export purposes onto the card. All Files exported
from the UI onto the card will have the file extension „MRF.‟ When the file is returned to the UI via the
SD Card, its original file name will be displayed. See section 7.3 for saved data format.
