3.1.4 Using the IQ CopyStation with the PowerSoftware
To use the IQ CopyStation in host based mode, you must install the PowerSoftware and connect
the IQ CopyStation to a USB 2.0 port of the PC. The connection to the USB port can take place
before or after starting the PowerSoftware (hot plugging). You may be prompted to install a driver
when you connect the IQ CopyStation to the PC for the first time. The CopyStation is ready to use
with the PowerSoftware as soon as the driver has been installed. After completing the USB
connection, the LC display of the IQ CopyStation should show „Host controlled“ and the
CopyStation device ID which has been assigned by the PowerSoftware.
All other CopyStations should be connected to the system before starting the PowerSoftware.
Warning: If the CopyStation is in the middle of an operation in stand alone mode and you connect
it to the PC with the PowerSoftware already running, the stand alone operation will be cancelled
immediately without warning.
3.2 Copying methods
The PowerSoftware provides two different methods of copying the data. In addition, the two
methods can be combined. With the first method, a medium image or an existing master medium is
used to make the copies. With this method, the destination media are identical copies of the
medium image or the master medium. This method of copying is particularly efficient because the
CopyStation hardware can write and verify the data for all of the slots in parallel.
The second method is based on mapping the media slots to logical drive letters of the PC using the
