Chapter 3: Writing on the Luminex
Memory
The Luminex uses memory to store steno notes and timestamp files as additional backup to the Data SD and Backup SD cards. Steno note files stored in memory remain even when you turn the Luminex Off.
You can save individual or multiple steno note files that are stored in memory to a Data SD card or thumb drive in the rare instance you need to retrieve a file.
In addition to steno files and timestamp information, the Luminex memory also stores dictionaries, jdefines made on the Luminex, user settings and log files. The Luminex memory has approximately 8 GB of space. You can view the available space in memory, copy files from memory or clear the memory. If you decide to clear the memory, you are only removing access to the steno notes and timestamps from memory, you are not removing your dictionaries, j-defines, log files or user setting information.
