MEMORY

SCAMP contains three types of memory:

• 512K X 8 low power RAM,
• 512K X 8 flash, and a
• 64M X 8 MultiMedia Card.

The RAM and flash are fixed, but the MultiMedia Card can be removed and replaced with larger or smaller versions. (Contact PME if MultiMedia Card replacement is required!)

During profiling data flow into the RAM. At the completion of a profile, the data are appended to SCAMP parameters (calibrations etc.) and saved as a profile block in the MultiMedia Card (MMC) memory. Profiles are stored until uploaded to the host computer. The MMC is a flash memory and will store profiles even if all batteries are removed from SCAMP. The storage format is not MSDOS compatible. The MMC cannot be read in a PC card reader.

The flash memory holds SCAMP’s internal program.
