Saving your show files to a USB memory stick
When you are satisfied that your show file is how you want it, we recommend that you
save it to a removable storage device (USB memory stick). This provides a valuable
back up should the show file stored in the internal memory of the control centre be lost,
for example, due to inadvertent deletion.
You can also load show files onto the control centre from the same storage device.
>> To save (export) a show file to a USB memory stick
1 If necessary, close and save the show file you want to export; you can’t export a
show file that is open.
2 Insert the USB memory stick
into the active USB socket,
which is the one with the
flashing active LED. For
example, USB key 2 (shown
right).
3 Do one of the following:
• At the GUI, choose
home
Files.
• In the primary navigation
zone, press the
automation/filing screen
access button twice.
4 You may see an “Analysing...”
message in the Removable Storage
panel, which means that the Midas
folder on the USB memory stick is
being read. Wait for the message to
clear. Then, in the Control Surface
panel, click the show file you want to
copy (shown right).
5 Click EXPORT.
6 In the Are You Sure you Want To
Export? message window, click OK. The file will
start copying to the USB memory stick.
7 When your show file appears in the Removable
Storage panel, it has finished copying to the
USB memory stick. Remove the USB memory
stick.
>> To load (import) a show file from a USB memory stick
The procedure is similar to the export procedure, as detailed in “To save (export) a
show file to a USB memory stick” on page 67, but select the file to be imported to the
control centre from the Removable Storage panel and then click IMPORT.
