Barudan CF Card - Writing Files

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

Use this command if you want to write designs to a Barudan CF (Compact Flash) Card. It is assumed that you have the CF Card Reader hardware attached to your PC and that this reader works like another disk drive on your PC (e.g., drive H:).

1 - Run Embird; it will start in "Manager" mode.

2 - In the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen, select the design that you want to write to the Barudan CF Card. To select a design, please move the mouse pointer to its file name and click the left mouse button (Picture No. 1).

You can select multiple files: Move the mouse pointer to the file name of the first design in the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen, depress the left mouse button, and hold it down while moving the mouse pointer over the file names of the other designs. When the mouse pointer is over the last design, please release the left mouse button.

1. Select files to be written to CF card

3 - Select the "Right Panel > Input/Output Operations > Barudan CF Card" command from the main menu (Picture No. 2).

2. Select "Right Panel > Input/Output Operations > Barudan CF Card" menu

4 - A dialog box will appear on the screen (Picture No. 3). Choose the "Drive:" which contains the Barudan CF Card. In this example, it is the "H:" drive. The upper box shows the folders and files of the Barudan CF Card (empty card in this example).

5 - Click the "Create new folder" button to create a new folder for the designs and choose this folder in the "Folder" box. In this example, we have created the "Embird.fdr" folder (see below in Picture No. 4).

6 - The bottom box shows the files that you are going to write to the card (Picture No. 3). Click the "Write files to card" button to start writing the designs to the card.

3. Select folder and write files there

7 - Embird will write the files to the Barudan CF Card and will display the result of this operation (Picture No. 4). In this example, the "CAMPANUL.U01", "DAFFODIL.U02", and "ELEPHANT.U03" designs were written to the card. The corresponding files with the .EDR extension contain the Embird color palette for these designs.

4. Result of write operation

8 - The Barudan CF Card is now ready for use. You can eject it from the disk drive and use it with your embroidery machine.
