FILE RESTRICTIONS 

 
The  TDC-100B  can  only  see  .td2  and  .tds  files  in  the  root  directory,  and  has  no 
means of navigating through a directory structure.  

All TDC files must be in the root 

directory.

 

 
Also, the filenames are restricted to the old 8.3 filename convention.  In other words, 
the  filename  can  only  be  8  characters  long,  with  a  .td2  extension,  indicating  a 
Cueman  file,  or  a  .tds  extension,  indicating  a  menu  file..    If  you  have  existing  files 
with longer names, just rename them.    The TDC will see longer names, but they will 
be truncated according to 8.3 convention.   For  example, LONGFILENAME.TD2 will 
appear as LONGFI~1.TD2. 
 
 

USB OPERATION 

 
The operation of the USB-equipped panel is straight-forward. 
 
If there is no USB drive inserted into the socket, the panel operates exactly as it has 
in the past, and there should be no difference to the users. 
 
If  a  USB  drive  is  inserted,  the  panel  will  recognize  the  drive  and  switch  to  a  USB 
function  menu  of  eight  items.    The  items  can  be  selected  by  using  the  jog  knob.   
Once the desired function is scrolled to with the knob, it may be selected by pressing 
the MENU SET button (just below the MENU button). 
 
You  may  return  to  the  main  menu  at  any  time  (except  when  a  file  read/write  is  in 
progress) by pressing the MENU button. 
 
The eight main menu functions are: 
 

1- Read .TD2 File to TDC 

This is used to read cues from a file on the USB drive into the TDC-100B Registers. 
Once this function is selected, you'll be able to select the file name from all available 
.td2  files.      Select  the  filename  with  the  jog  knob,  and  press  MENU  SET  when  the 
proper file is selected.   You will also be able to select a range to be uploaded. 
The  range  choices  are  selected  with  the  knob,  and  are  either  'Entire  File'  or  a 
numerically-entered  range.    If  you  select  'Enter  Range:"  you  should  then  enter  a 
three-digit  starting  register  number  and  a  three-digit  ending  number,  using  the 
keypad.  These numbers are inclusive.    When entry is complete,  press the MENU 
SET button again.  Only the registers within the entered range (assuming they exist 
in the file) will be uploaded to the TDC-100B. 
 
 

2- Overwrite .TD2 File 

This  is  used  to  overwrite  an  existing  file  on  the  USB  drive  with  the  current  register 
data from the TDC-100B.  Once this function is selected, you'll be able to select the 
file  name  from  all  available  .td2  files.    Select  the  filename  with  the  jog  knob,  and
