Vcp And Xcp File Operations - Casio ClassPad 330 Hardware User's Manual

2-6 VCP and XCP File Operations

When saving ClassPad eActivity data or program data for storage on a computer or in the
ClassPad mass storage area, you need to convert it to a VCP file or XCP file. VCP files and
XCP files can be imported later to ClassPad from a computer or the ClassPad mass storage
area when required.
• Use VCP (***.vcp) file format when you want to batch store and later import all of the
ClassPad's files and data.
• Use XCP (***.xcp) file format when you want to store and later import individual variables or
eActivity files for each type of ClassPad data (eActivity, Geometry, Spreadsheet, etc.) Note
that XCP format can be used to store variables and eActivity files only. For information
about variable data types, see page 1-7-3 of the separate Software User's Guide.
A save operation saves the following variables and eActivity files.
(1) System variables: Ans, a0, list1, xmin, xmin3d and other data
(2) General variables: Files saved with Geometry, Spreadsheet, Program, etc.
(3) eActivity files
• Saving to a VCP file (***.vcp) saves all of the above files and data currently in ClassPad
memory.
• Saving to an XCP file (***.xcp) saves only the variables or eActivity files for a specific
data type (eActivity, Geometry, Spreadsheet, etc.).
VCP and XCP files can be transferred between ClassPad and a computer when there is a
USB Flash mode connection between them. For details about connection modes, see "2-5
Transferring Data between ClassPad and a Computer".
