23 UTILITIES
23.1 USB DISK OPERATIONS
The maXim has a USB connector that accepts a
USB “flash disk” allowing you to save or load a
“show”. A “show” contains the entire contents of
the maXim's memory. This includes all Scenes,
Chases, Stacks, SyncoBEATs and the Patch. If
you are using a computer to manage the files on
your USB flash disk, ensure that all files for the
maXim reside in the root directory of the flash
disk.
HINT: LSC recommends that you use a
dedicated USB flash disk for the storage of
your maXim “show” files and that you do not
use the same device for general purpose use.
The status of the USB port is displayed on the
video output in the lower right corner. The colour
of “USB” changes to show the current status.
• GREY= No USB device
connected.
• GREEN = Ready
• RED = Busy
