The CF Card memory size must be at least 64 MB.
There is a limit to the frequency that data can be rewritten to the CF Card. 500 KB of data can be rewritten around 100,000 times. Backup to another media.
CF Cards and USB storage devices require different "memory loader tools" for startup. Create the respective tools.
Even if multiple USB storage devices are connected to the display unit, you can only use the USB storage that is first recognized.
When using the memory loader to download the GP-Pro EX project to a display unit set up with a Pro-Server EX project file (*.npx), be aware that the .*npx file will be deleted. Using the CF card or USB storage device, follow these steps to move .prx and .npx project files to another display unit.
Transfer the GP-Pro EX project file (.prx) from the PC to the display unit.
Transfer the Pro-Server EX project file (.npx) from the PC to the display unit.
Start the memory loader tool on the display unit to begin upload operations. The GP-Pro EX (.prx) and Pro-Server EX (.npx) project files on the display unit are saved to the CF card or USB storage device.
33.7.2 Transfer - Transferring Project Files from Display Unit to Computer (or to Another Display Unit)
From the display unit, remove the CF card or USB storage device and load it into a different display unit to download the project files.
For GP-3300 Series models, when [Revision] is set to Rev*-4 or later, the transfer fails if a model before Revision 4 is used. However, AGP3310T/3360T models can transfer project files regardless of revision.
When Japanese standard fonts are deleted from GP-3200 and ST-3000 Series models, the Memory Loader created in GP-Pro EX V2.10 or earlier cannot be started up. Use a version of GP-PRo EX V2.20 or later to use the Memory Loader with the model in which Japanese fonts are deleted.
The number of files and folders that can display in the Memory Loader Tool's [Select File] screen is around 50. However, for the GP-4100 series it can display 1000 files and folders.
CF Card Cautions for Use
When ejecting a CF Card, make sure that the CF Card access LED lamp turns OFF. Otherwise, the data on the CF Card may be damaged.
When accessing a CF Card, be sure not to power OFF or reset the display unit, or eject the CF Card. Create an application screen on which the CF Card cannot be accessed, and on that application screen, you may power OFF or reset the GP, open and close the CF Card cover, and eject the CF Card.
When inserting a CF Card, check the front and back sides and the connector position of the card. If the CF Card is inserted the wrong way, the data, the CF Card, or the display unit may be damaged.
Use a CF Card manufactured by Digital Electronics Corporation. If a CF Card manufactured by another company is used, the contents of the CF Card may be damaged.
Please make sure to back up all CF Card data.
Please refrain from doing the following, as it can result in damage to data and equipment:
Bending the CF Card
Dropping the CF Card
Spilling water on the card
Touching the CF Card's connectors directly
Disassembling or modifying the CF Card
