17.6 Using Removable Media to Load and Save Applications
A special file type, with a .PGM extension, is used to store XL7 OCS application programs on
microSD.
To load an application from microSD to the XL7 OCS, use the Removable Media Manager
(open the Removable Media Manager in the System Menu) to find and highlight the desired
.PGM file, and then press the Enter key.
To save an application from the XL7 to microSD, open the Removable Media Manager in the
System Menu and press the Save Pgm
function key. The application will be saved in a file
called DEFAULT.PGM in the microSD root directory.
NOTE: Saving an application to microSD can only be done from the Removable Media
System Menu and is not available on a Removable Media Manager object that was
placed on an application graphics screen by Cscape.
NOTE: Cscape can also save an application directly to a microSD card, which is plugged into
the PC’s m
icroSD compatible card reader by selecting the Export to Removable Media item on
the Cscape File menu.
17.7 Using Removable Media to View and Capture Screens
The XL7 OCS File System uses bitmap files with the .BMP extension or JPEG files with the
.JPG extension to store XL7 OCS graphic screen captures.
To view a captured XL7 OCS screen, use the Removable Media Manager to find and highlight
the desired .BMP or .JPG file, and then press Enter.
Before capturing an XL7 OCS screen, Cscape must first be used to assign a Screen Capture
Control Register and Filename in the application. To do this, first open the Graphics Editor by
selecting the View / Edit Screens item on the Cscape Screens menu. Next, select the Screen
Capture item of the Graphics Editor Config menu and then enter a Control Register and
Filename.
To capture an XL7 OCS screen, turning On the assigned Screen Capture Control Register will
capture the current XL7 OCS graphics screen and write it to the microSD card using the
assigned Screen Capture Filename. To view a captured XL7 OCS screen, use the Removable
Media Manager to find and highlight the desired .BMP or .JPG file, and then press Enter.
