2.4 FAQ regarding Data Storage and Transfer

Before having access to the VIBER X5 MkIII™ content in the windows Explorer, what
driver shall I install?
Answer : No driver is necessary to install in the PC. The PC will automatically recognize
the micro SD Card, as a mass storage device. When you connect VIBER X5 MkIII™ for the
first time, the Windows operating system will need a few seconds to configure the
system.

Can I replace the micro SD Card with a standard card from the market?
Answer : Yes, but you must send the instrument to a VMI service center. However not all
cards have the same performance some cards can be up to 4 times slower than the one
originally delivered from VMI, also not all cards have compatibility with Windows 7.For
best performance you should format the card with the instrument.

If necessary, how can I format the micro SD Card?
Answer : In case of a card corruption, you can format the card from the PC.
If the VIBER X5 MkIII™ is running, the best choice is to format the card inside the
Instrument, for a better performance.

If the software of VIBER X5 MkIII™ is asking me to edit a file name, what names are valid
for the micro SD Card?
Answer : The file system for the SD Card accepts file names up to 8 letters (or numbers),
a dot and an extension of 3 letters (example: BAL00005.MV4). Other symbols (example:
minus, space) are not accepted. Files without any extension are also accepted.

Can I work simultaneously together with the SD Card inside of VIBER X5 MkIII™ and the
Windows Explorer?
Answer : No, you can’t. When you are in the Windows Explorer and start the Instrument,
the connection with the computer will close. You cannot work simultaneously with the
files in the VIBER X5 MkIII™ and in the computer.

Can I change the SD Card name?
Answer : Yes, you can, but that’s not recommended. SpectraPro® tries automatically to
find the VIBER X5 MkIII™ Card, using the default name. If you change the Card name you
must manually select the SD Card unit name in SpectraPro® software.

Can I delete some files on the SD Card?
Answer : Yes, you can. You can delete all files from the card. It is however a good practice
to keep the SYSTEM folder, where the firmware files is located. You may need these files
to restore the VIBER X5 MkIII™firmware.
