HP 50g manual Accessing objects on an SD card, Storing objects on the SD card

4.When the formatting is finished, the HP 50g displays the message "FORMAT FINISHED. PRESS ANY KEY TO EXIT". To exit the system menu, hold down the ‡key, press and release the Ckey and then release the ‡key.

The SD card is now ready for use. It will have been formatted in FAT32 format.

Accessing objects on an SD card

Accessing an object on the SD card is similar to when an object is located in ports 0, 1, or 2. However, port 3 will not appear in the menu when you are using the LIB function (‚á). The SD files can only be managed using the Filer, or File Manager („¡). When starting the Filer, the Tree view will show:

Long names of files on an SD card are supported, but are displayed in 8.3 format in the Filer (that is, their names are truncated to 8 characters and a three character extension is added as a suffix). The type of each object will be displayed, unless it is a PC object or an object of unknown type. (In these cases, its type is listed as String.)

In addition to using File Manager operations, you can use STO and RCL to store objects on, and recall objects from, the SD card.

Storing objects on the SD card

To store an object, use function STO as follows:

•In algebraic mode:

Enter object, press K, type the name of the stored object using port 3 (e.g., :3:VAR1), press `.

•In RPN mode:

Enter object, type the name of the stored object using port 3 (e.g., :3:VAR1), press K.
