Step 1: Create data files Data files are updated on a monthly basis. If you turn off the RM-1000 or remove the Multi Media Card from the MMC slot (before the scheduled update), an another data file is created. The number of files depends on how often you turn off the RM-1000 or remove the card from the slot.

A file name example: RM0804XX ‘XX’ stands for the file number( in hexadecimal), which is automatically assigned in order.

Step 2: Data formats to be saved on the card
