16.0 Smart Card
The Smart Card socket on the front of the remote is designed to use
PCMCIA2 memory cards of between 128kbyte and 2Mbyte storage
capacity. Files are stored on the card in a ‘Pseudo-floppy’ format
using standard DOS structures. See the box at the end of this section
for compatibility information. As existing Flash memory cards have
erase and re-write limitations, only SRAM memory cards are fully
supported in the current remote Smart card software. The exception
is that a full remote set-up (an ALLDATA file) is stored to a Flash card
when it is formatted . The Flash card remote set-up can then be read
at any time, but only written to by performing a complete format
again. This is useful for archive purposes as Flash cards have no
batteries to run down.
The FPC-900 has been tested using Fujitsu
256k FLASH cards.
Flash cards should be the older Series 1 Flash cards, newer Series 2
Flash cards may not work.
Omnidrive data cannot be stored or recalled on the FPC-900R
Enter the CARD menu by pressing UTILS and selecting the CARD
option.
Across the top of the CARD screen are detailed the number of blocks
available on the card and the number of files of the selected data type
that can be fitted onto the card. The directory name at the top left of
the screen will always show BSSDATA. At the top right are the number
of files found of the current data type.
[CURVE, RTA, DEVICE, ALLDATA, EVENTS]
This item selects the area of data that is to be acted upon, whether it is
to be Loaded, Saved or Deleted. As this item is altered, the screen will
redraw to give a directory of the files of this type available on the card.
The maximum number of files of each type is limited by the amount of
card space available up to a limit of 90. If the data type is CURVE and
there are no curves stored, for example, the limit is 90 as each file is
very small. If the data type is ALLDATA, the maximum may be limited
by card size to 1 or 2, as each file is rather large.
