9.2 Storage of programs
The SCANCOMMANDER stores all programs internally. The number of scenes,
which fit the storage capacity, depend on the size of the single scenes.
- Memories controlling scans with 4 to 6 channels will need less space than
scans with 12 or more channels.
- Selective memories or steps only keep the data for the selected channels.
This way they also save space.
Therefore the exact number of scenes, possible to store internally, ranges
from 600 to more than 6000. The storage space still available is displayed by
FREE:(......) during any STORE operation. As soon as the limits are reached
(Display shows: NOT ENOUGH MEMORY), some of the unused programs
have to be cleared (see 9.3) or modified to selective programs.
9.2.1 Backup on to memory card
Beside the internal storage, programs can be stored externally on to cue card.
Storing on a cue card can be done in sections, for example only SETUP data
or only memory and chaser programs.

RAM from 32 to 256 KByte, but as accessories it is recommended to use a
256 KByte card.
