File Save Load Rename File File A knowledge of terms is required to understand the functions and operations of the MENU/File section. This section explains the terminology used in the MENU/File section.  File The term "file" is used to define a set of data saved on a USB flash drive. Data exchanged between the EAD10 and a USB flash drive is carried out in the form of files.  File Name The name given to the file is called a file name. Files names are important for distinguishing files, and the same file name cannot be used in the same directory. While computers can handle long names, and even include non-English characters, the EAD10 can only use alphanumeric characters.  Extensions The "period + three letters," such as ".wav" at the end of the file name, is referred to as a "file extension." The extension indicates the type of file. Files that the EAD10 use have a ".bin" extension, which is not displayed on the EAD10 Screen.  File size This refers to the size of the file. The file size is determined by the amount of data saved in the file. File size is measured in units indicated with a B (byte). Large files and also the memory capacity of devices are represented using units of KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), and GB (gigabytes). 1 KB=1024 B, 1 MB=1024 KB, and 1 GB=1024 MB.  Format Initializing the USB flash drive is known as "formatting." Formatting a USB flash drive using the EAD10 will erase all files and directories (or folders).  Save, Load "Save" refers to the writing of data to a USB flash drive, while "load" refers to the reading of files from a USB flash drive. NOTE The EAD10 can handle a maximum of 100 ".wav" files, and 100 ".bin" files.
