Barudan CF Card - Reading Files

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

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

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

2 - Select the "Right Panel > Input/Output Operations > Barudan CF Card" command from the main menu (Picture No. 1).

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

3 - A dialog box will appear on the screen (Picture No. 2). 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.

4 - In the "Folder:" box, select (double-click) the folder containing the designs that you want to read from the CF card (arrow 1 in Picture No. 2). In this example, we have selected the "Embird.fdr" folder.

5 - In the "Files:" box, select the files you want to read from the CF card (2 in Picture No. 2). To select a design, please move the mouse pointer to its file name and click the left mouse button. 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. In this example, we have selected all the files stored in the "Embird.fdr" folder.

6 - Click the "Read selected files from card" button to read the selected files from the CF card (3 in Picture No. 2).

When finished, it will display the result of this operation (Picture No. 4). Click the "OK" button to continue.
