Operation Mode Description
AUTO MODE
Auto Mode allows target card with +/- 5% variation from source card.
SD Card Duplicator will automatically re-map and adjust partition size to fully utilize target card capacity.
At the mean time, SD Card Duplicator will identify the storage area that is being allocated and used by
the source card. Only the storage area with valid data will be copied and verified to reduce operation
time.
However, only partitions with FAT16/32 file system will be supported. Partition with other file systems will
be treated the same as under Mirror mode.
It is recommended to use AUTO mode, when Source and Target are with the same labeled capacity and
are formatted to FAT16/32 file systems.
FILE MODE
File Mode allows target card with difference capacity from source card to be supported. Source card
must be formatted under FAT16/32 file system. Target card will be re-formatted to FAT16/32 in Copy
operation.
It is recommended to use FILE mode, when Source and Target are with different labeled capacity and
are formatted to FAT16/32 file systems.
MIRROR MODE
Mirror Mode allows target card to be copied and verified in manner of sector-by-sector exactly.
It is recommended to use Mirror mode, when sector-by-sector exactness are required.
