3.3.1 Memory Card Operation
A standard SD memory card must first be formatted for use with the OttoView-CD device.
Data can not be recorded on a memory that has not been formatted. If an unformatted
memory card is put into the device, the SD memory card LED will flash.
3.3.2 New Memory Card Formatting
The memory card that came with the OttoView-CD device was formatted and
includes a Readme.txt file. The following steps describe how to format a
memory card that has not been previously formatted.
Note: A Microsoft Windows® XP operating system with service pack 2
(Windows XP Service Pack 2 Buld 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254) has
been used in the steps described below. Administrator privileges are required
to format the memory card.
1.
Use a standard SD or MMC memory card (up to 2 GB) such as the one shown in the
figure.
2.
Insert the memory card into a memory slot on the PC or into an
external card reader.
3.
When the card is inserted, Windows® will recognize the memory card
and will assign a drive letter. Right clicking on the drive will show the
properties of the memory card in terms of the type of formatting and
available space. An example for a 1 GB Memory card is shown in the
following figure.
