System Application

You can use the System application to manage ClassPad memory (main memory, the eActivity area, and the storage area), and to configure various system settings.

14-1 Managing Memory Usage

ClassPad has the following three independent memory areas for storing data: main memory area, eActivity area, and storage area.

Main memory: This area is for storage of application data and variables, except for eActivity.

eActivity area: This area is for storage of eActivity data.

Storage area: All ClassPad data can be exported as a single VCP file, and individual main memory and/or eActivity area data items can be exported as individual XCP files and stored in this area. When the ClassPad is connected to a computer via a USB connection, this area can be used to transfer data between the ClassPad and computer (page 252).

Starting up the System application displays a screen with three tabs, one for each of the memory areas described above. Tapping a tab will display a sheet for performing the operations below for the applicable memory area.

•Delete main memory and eActivity area data

•Search for and delete files and folders in the storage area, and create and rename folders

•Import and export data (variable and eActivity) between main memory and the eActivity area, and the storage area

Using the Storage Sheet

The [Storage] sheet appears first whenever the System application is started up. You can use this sheet to import and export files. For details, see “VCP and XCP File Operations” (page 253). Here, we will display the contents of the storage area, and show how to rename a file and delete a file.

uTo view storage area contents

1.On the System application window, tap the [Storage] tab.

2.Select “View Storage & Import” and then tap [Select].
