TRX-1 V-Scanner Storage & Global Settings

Summary: How the TRX-1 stores several configurations (V-Scanner II) and what every Global Settings option does.

V-Scanner II Storage

V-Scanner II lets you keep multiple configurations on the scanner. Configurations are created, managed and copied to the SD card with the EZ Scan software; you can’t create or delete V-Scanner folders on the scanner itself.

To load one, choose V-Scanner in the Main Menu, scroll to the configuration and press SEL. Any changes you made to the current configuration are saved to the card automatically before the new one loads. The folders update automatically as you use them; there’s no separate save and load step. Programming for folder number nnn lives in CDAT_VS.nnn (001-200) on the card.

Global Settings

Reach them from Program Menu, Global Settings, press right.
