Storage" mode to access the files on the IOP-2.The files are basic text files and can be opened
with any basic text editor. The default label names are "default", when the labels have the
"default" text, the IOP-2 will ignore the labels. There are the following restrictions when
creating your own labels:
•
A maximum of 20 characters for each label name.
•
The characters that can be used conform to the normal windows file naming conventions.
•
The number of labels are restricted depending on the type of status screen view that is
selected in the "Status screen wizard". See
Extras Menu (Page 65).
The four files are named:
•
BotLeft.txt
•
BotRight.txt
•
TopLeft.txt
•
TopRight.txt
The file names relate to the area of the status where they will appear.
Simply selected the file you wish to use as a label; open it with a text editor, change the
name and then save it back to the same location in the IOP-2 file system. If the file name
itself is changed the IOP-2 will not recognize the label.
An example of the status screen with new label names (using all four text files) is shown in
the figure below.

Upgrading the IOP-2 firmware
Upgrading the IOP-2 firmware
The IOP-2 contains firmware, which can be upgraded by the user by means of a firmware
upgrade. To perform the upgrade of the IOP-2 firmware the following steps should be
performed.
1.
Plug the IOP-2 into a PC using the USB connection. Note: Connect the IOP-2 only to an
internal USB interface. Do not use an USB interface which is connected to your PC externally
(e.g. via a docking station, external USB-Hub or desktop PCs with front sockets).
2.
The IOP-2 will automatically enter the "Mass Storage" mode.
