Data SD Card
The Luminex uses a Data SD card to store steno notes, timestamps, audio files when the audio
option is selected and the associated job dictionary when J-Defines are created for the job. The
Luminex comes with an 8 GB Data SD card.
The actual number of files a Data SD card holds varies according to the size of the SD card and the
size of each steno note, timestamp and audio files. For example, a 1 GB Data SD card holds
approximate 600,000 pages without audio files. Depending on the audio compression option selected,
a 1 GB Data SD card holds approximately 170 hours of audio at the lower GSM compression rate and
70 hours at the higher ADPCM compression rate.
The SD card icon on the title bar of the tilting touch screen provides a general indication of the
remaining space on the Data SD card. When the gauge is completely blue, the entire card is
available. If no SD card icon displays, there is no SD card in the Data SD slot or the Luminex does not
recognize the Data SD card. If the Data SD card is corrupt, full or missing from the Data SD slot, the
Luminex displays warning messages but allows you to continue writing. Steno notes continue to be
saved to memory and the steno, timestamps and audio continue to be saved to the Backup SD card.
Stenograph recommends carrying an extra SD card.
Format a SD Card
You may want to format a previously used Data SD card for use in the Luminex. For example, you
have archived all the files on the Data SD card and want to start with a clean Data SD card.
To format a Data SD card:
1. Gently insert a Data SD card into the Data SD slot on the Luminex until you hear a soft click. If the
card does not insert easily, do not force it. Remove the card and reinsert it, ensuring it is straight
without angling.
2. From the Opening menu, touch Storage, SD Card, Format. A confirmation message prompts you
to continue to format the card.
3. Touch Yes to format the Data SD card. A message box displays, indicating the progress of the
format. To abort the format, touch No.
4. A message displays confirming format completion. To display the Opening menu, touch OK, Quit,
OK.
Manage Data SD Card Space
You can check the amount of free space left on a Data SD card. As the Data SD card reaches
capacity while writing a job, the Luminex beeps and a series of prompts warn that the Data SD card is
almost full. If you are recording audio while writing, a series of prompts warn that recording will stop
soon. When the Data SD card reaches only 12 MB available, a message displays indicating that audio
