Transferring files from a Computer to a PC Card for loading into a DSC.
The files stored in the DSC and PC card follow the DOS data file format. This allows these files to be treated like any other
DOS file. They can be stored on disk and sent via modem. This document assumes that you have a DOS based computer
than has the capability of reading and writing DOS files to a PC Card. When you place an SRAM or Flash card into such a
computer, the card acts as another disc drive. (Typically B:) You can then use standard DOS commands such as copy,
move, rename, etc. It is important that the files transferred to a PC card for loading into a DSC follow a specific directory
hierarchy and naming convention. The file structure of a DSC PC Card is as follows:
Directory: BSSDATA located on the Root Level of the PC Card.
All Files for the DSC must be located within the BSSDATA Directory.
All files must follow DOS naming conventions. (eight characters plus a three character suffix, no spaces,
correct extensions, etc.)
.XAL extensions signify a complete set of programs for the DSC. These files show up on the DSC in
“Call” mode during store and recall operations.
.XPG extensions signify an individual DSC program. These files show up on the DSC in “Cprg” mode
during store and recall operations.
.XLO extensions signify logo files for custom Default Screens.
An example of this functionality is:
1. Transmit a program or new set of programs via modem.
2. Transfer those files to a PC card.
3. Load files into DSC.
