===USB Device Usage with Scanco Backup/Archive Software===

For illustrated help on USB device usage on Itanium systems, please refer to [[Media:Scanco_TD387_USB_Device_Usage.pdf ‎ | '''Scanco_TD387_USB_Device_Usage.pdf ‎''' ]]
 
====Initialize procedure====
If an external USB device is to be used to archive measurement data, the USB device must be initialized by Open-
VMS. The data will not be accessible from any other operating system.

- Attach the USB device to the front USB port of the Itanium rx2660.
(note: Itanium rx2620 only supports USB1.1, which will have a very slow transfer rate)

- Open the Scanco backup/archive software.

- Select the correct USB device with the arrow buttons in the “USB Device” section.

- Use the “Initialize<” button in the “USB Device” section to initialize the USB device.

- Confirm the Warning message. Note: All data currently on the device will be erased!

- Enter a six-character label

The USB device will be initialized and mounted.

====Archive procedure====

- Attach an OpenVMS formatted USB device to the front USB port of the Itanium.
(note: Itanium rx2620 only supports USB1, which will have a very slow transfer rate)

- Open the Scanco backup/archive software.

- Select the correct USB device with the arrow buttons in the “USB Device” section.

- Use the “Mount” button in the “USB Device” section to mount the USB device.

The device label of the mounted USB device will be shown in the “USB Device” section.

- Select the measurement data to be archived.

- Select “Move To:” and “USB/VMS” and click “Start<” to archive the selected data to the USB device.

After the move procedure, the new current location of the measurement data will be shown next to the files path.

- “Dismount” the USB device when done with archiving.

====Manual file copy procedure====
An OpenVMS formatted USB device can also be mounted and used for file storage using commands in a DECterm.

- Attach an OpenVMS formatted USB device to the front USB port of the Itanium.
(note: Itanium rx2620 only supports USB1, which will have a very slow transfer rate)

- List available devices. The last shown device is usually the attached USB device; dna12 in this example.
    $ show device dna

- Mount the USB device using the correct device name
    $ mount /over=id dna12

- Create a root directory. Ignore any messages if the directory already exists.
    $ create /dir dna12:[microct]

- Copy any wished files to the USB device
    $ copy {source files} dna12:[microct] /log

- Dismount the USB device
    $ dismount dna12

====Exporting Files / FAT file system====
If an external USB device is to be used to export measurement data to a Windows or MAC OS, the USB device must be formatted as FAT file system.

- Attach the USB device to the front USB port of the Itanium.
(note: Itanium rx2620 only supports USB1, which will have a very slow transfer rate)

- Open the Scanco backup/archive software.

- Do not “Initialize<” or “Mount” the USB device !

- Select the measurement data to be copied to the USB device, may be even sub-select the wished file type
(TIF files in the example below).

- Select “Copy To:” and “USB/FAT” and click “Start<” to copy the selected data to the USB device.

Once the USB device is connected to Windows or MAC OS, it will show a ZIP file named like the copied measurement
number. This ZIP file contains the same directory structure like the data disk on OpenVMS: 

data\sample number\measurement number

In the lowest sub-directory are the copied files, as selected in the backup/archive software (TIF files in this example).
