SD Card Operations/Format SD Card
This function prepares an SD card to receive data from the 8310. Most SD cards are already
formatted and ready for 8310 data and do not need additional formatting.
SD Card Operations/Read Setup from Card
Read Setup from Card is used to load a new setup from a stored on the SD card. This will
overwrite any existing setup and reconfigure the 8310 based on the setup file. Pressing the
key with this option highlighted will cause the 8310 to prompt you for the name of the file to
load. The system looks in the “SD Card/8310” directory by default. You may navigate to other
directories by pressing UP, DOWN, and SET. When you find the setup you want to load, press
SET with it highlighted, and the 8310 will read the file and use it as the current setup.
SD Card Operations/Write Setup to Card
Write Setup to Card is used to write a copy of the 8310 setup to the SD card. The SD Card can
then be taken to another 8310 and cloned by using the Read Card Setup option (above).
Pressing the key will cause the system to first display the intended name for the setup file.
This will be “/SD Card/8310/stationname.ett”. The name can be changed using the arrow keys.
After pressing SET again, the system displays the message “Reading Setup, Please wait…” After
a few seconds, the system returns to the “Write Setup to Card” menu.
