    1.6 Using the SD Slot, USB Connector & I/O Connector The DMS Go uses a standard 2 to 8 GB SD memory card for storing data set files and reports and for loading an instrument software upgrade (see “Multi-Key Functions” on page 10). The SD card slot is located in a compartment on the top of the instrument, along with a USB connector and an I/O connector (see Figure 5 below).

  • Page 35: Removing The Sd Card

    The edge of the card with the row of gold-colored electrical contacts must enter the slot first. Slide the card fully into the slot and push gently until the card seats into its socket. Then, close the SD card slot cover. DMS Go Operator’s Manual Your Complete Source for www.BergEng.com 1-847-577-3980 Testing Equipment.
