b
bad device File and 
Automation
Operation could not be 
carried out because the 
device, that is, the internal 
compact flash of the PRO2 or 
USB memory stick (if 
connected), does not contain 
the required directory 
structure.
• If the device is the internal 
compact flash of the PRO2, 
this could be an indication of 
a serious problem. Contact 
Midas Technical Support.
• If the device is the USB 
memory stick, check that the 
device has not been 
disconnected from the control 
surface.
bad device ID File and 
Automation
The device identifier has not 
been recognised.
If you are exporting a file to a 
USB memory stick, check 
that it has not been 
disconnected from the control 
surface.
bad directory File and 
Automation
The file system path does not 
terminate in a directory.
This is highly unlikely to occur 
in practice, but is an 
indication of a serious error. 
Contact Midas Technical 
Support.
bad file File and
