Software
Our copying software, which was developed in-house, has
the same »Look & Feel« in
all altec CopyStation models.
The user interface can be switched between
German and English – further languages are
availble as an option.
The Job Wizard
is a key part of the software.
It is used to specify all parameters of the copy job – Name
of the card image, number of copies, whether verification
is required and configuration of the software
options.
Software options
Software option to create and copy short images.
The short image copy option creates smaller image files if
the master (source ) memory media is only partly filled with
user data. This results in faster programming of the target memory media.

Copying methods
The FlashCard CopyStation II provides two different copying
methods for copying the data:
1.) Image Copy (default method) – an image
of the entire contents of the memory media is created and then copied to
the target memory media.
Advantages: A 1:1 copy of the memory media
is created. Accordingly, all sectors of the target memory media are overwritten.
This method is supported by all memory media file systems.
Disadvantages: Copying is relatively time consuming
because all of the bytes of the original memory medium are copied.
2.) Short Image Copy (option) – only the
data sectors which are currently being used are copied.
Advantages: Significant time-saving if
the master (source ) memory media is only partly filled with
user data.
Disadvantages: If the target memory media has
already been used, some of the unused blocks may still contain old data.
For maximum
benefit, the data on the source memory media should not be fragmented. Short
image copy is currently only available for FAT12 and FAT 16 file systems.
