File Manager


The File Manager is reached from the MMCC Mode menu.
You need to have your device connected first.

Note: If you have OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE set on a picomite, the transfer rate is painfully slow. Even listing a few files is too slow to be acceptable.

This example uses a picomite connected to com4.

Step 1. select the device type (picomite and picomiteVGA are treated the same).
select com port and baud rate. If your picomite is using the on-board USB, the baud rate doesn't matter.

Step 2. Connect to your device.

Select File Manager

To transfer files, select one or more files then click on " >>>" to transfer to the 'mite and "<<<" to transfer from the mite.
The abort button lets you interrupt a file transfer.
With the picomites, you can also select "Memory" to list the programs saved in flash. Click on SDcard to get back to SD storage.

When working with the flash, it is one file at a time. If you have multiple files selected, only the first file will be transferred.
To copy a file to the picomite, it has to be loaded into program memory first before being saved to a flash slot.
This means that any existing program in current program memory is overwritten.
To transfer to a flash slot or 'current program', select the file on the PC and click on ">>>". You will be prompted to select the destination on the picomite.
You can overwrite an existing saved slot without any warning so think first!

Transferring from the picomite is direct from the flash to the PC. The current program is safe. Select the desired slot or current program and "<<<".
You will be prompted for a filename.

Transfers to and from the SDcard will use XMODEM while transfers to and from flash use AUTOSAVE and LIST

The PC folder will be remembered between sessions.

The first time you select a folder, there may be some delay as Windows has a think.
