VII. USB Functions

The XS is capable of transferring information

using a FAT formatted USB drive. The XS has three

main functions that it can perform using the USB.

(1) Upgrade XS Firmware from USB Drive

(2) Save XS Log Data to USB Drive

(3) Clone User Settings between XS units.

Upgrade XS Firmware

To upgrade the firmware on your XS, copy the updated software version to use to a USB drive. The file

name should be “firmware.bin” Plug the USB drive containing this file into the XS USB connector. The

USB DRIVE DETECTED pop-up window will appear. Use the up and down arrows to choose the “Update

Firmware” selection. Press ENTER. It may take a few minutes for the update process to complete. Do not

remove power or the USB drive during program updates. Once the firmware update is completed, the XS

will automatically reboot. Once the system reboots, the USB DRIVE DETECTED screen will re-appear.

Remove the USB Drive and this window will close.

Save XS Log Data to USB

History from an XS controller can be saved to a USB drive in one of two file formats (WebAdvantage or

a generic Comma Separated). You can select what type will be transferred in the Configure menu under

History there is a selection called Save Format. The WebAdvantage format is the default for then uploading

history to WebAdvantage for cloud storage and graphing. Change to Comma Separated if using with Excel.
To transfer the contents of the XS history logs to the USB drive, plug a USB drive in to the XS USB port. The

USB DRIVE DETECTED pop-up window will appear. Use the up and down arrows to choose the “History-

>USB” selection. Press ENTER. It may take a few minutes for the process to complete. Status will be displayed

on the screen to show the percent completed of each log record type. Once the log is completely stored, the

pop-up window will close. The USB drive will now contain a file named “LOG.TXT”.

Cloning an XS

The XS has the ability to copy the User Settings from one XS to another. This process is referred to as

cloning. To clone your XS, insert the USB drive into the XS with settings you want to save for cloning. Once

the USB DRIVE DETECTED pop-up window appears, use the up and down arrows to choose the “Config-

>USB” selection. Press ENTER. The User settings will be saved to the USB drive under the file name

“CONFIG

BIN”. The pop-up window will close when the copy is completed.

Take the USB drive and plug it in to the XS that you would like to copy the User Settings to. When the

USB DRIVE DETECTED window appears, use the up and down arrow keys to choose the “USB->Config”

selection. Press ENTER. The User Data will be loaded in to the XS from the USB drive. Once the pop-up

window closes, the cloning is completed.

Warning: 1. Not all customized names are saved.

2. USB drives must be FAT formatted to work correctly.
