THE LEDS, SLIDERS AND PADS, THEIR FUNCTIONS & USE cont.
VARIOUS OTHER PADS
Memory-To-Card transfers the contents of the Memory of the Masterpiece (all the Scenes, Chases etc. that you
have programmed), to the Memory Card for security and for transfer between Masterpieces. One Card is
provided with each Masterpiece, new Cards need to have their battery inserted before use. The Masterpiece will
be able to check the Card’s battery voltage in later software versions. Battery life is 3-5 years. While you press
the pad, the display shows "M-C", followed by "COdE", which flashes to prompt you to enter your Security Code,
four presses on the Keyboard are required. The Security Code feature is not yet implemented - any four key
presses on the Keyboard will do. If you do not enter a code within 5 seconds, the transfer is cancelled and the
display shows "CNCL". The transfer takes about 2 seconds and the display counts down to zero to show you the
progress. The data transferred to the Card is verified and the message "PASS" or "FAIL" appears in the display.
Card-To-Memory - as Memory-To-Card but the data transfer is in the opposite direction - BE VERY CAREFUL
NOT TO PRESS THE WRONG KEY AND OVER-WRITE YOUR PROGRAM!
Swap Memory and Card - achieved by pressing both Memory-To-Card and Card-To-Memory. While the second
key is pressed, the display shows "SWAP".
