Access CPT7 Internal Memory with a Computer

The CPT7 has 16 GB of internal Flash memory. This memory is formatted as FAT32 with a cluster size of 16 kB.

Legacy CPT7 receivers (PN 80023560) do not support this feature.

To allow a computer to access the internal memory, connect the computer to the USB port on the CPT7 and issue a FILEMEDIACONFIG DEFAULT_NO_STORAGE command. This command stops logging to internal memory and transfers control of the memory to the computer.

To return control of the internal memory back to the CPT7, issue a FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH command. The CPT7 then checks the file system on the internal memory for errors. If any errors are found, the CPT7 attempts to correct them. This may result in files being placed in the Lost and Found folder in the root of the internal memory.

To reduce the likelihood of internal memory corruption or data loss, the following is recommended:

  1. Always use the Eject option on your computer before issuing the FILEMEDIACONFIG INTERNAL_FLASH command on the CPT7.

  2. Before powering off the CPT7, use the FILECONFIG CLOSE command to ensure there is no activity on the internal memory when the power is lost.
