2-6 VCP and XCP File Operations

When saving ClassPad eActivity data or program data for storage on a computer or in the

ClassPad mass storage area, you need to convert it to a VCP file or XCP file. VCP files and

XCP files can be imported later to ClassPad from a computer or the ClassPad mass storage

area when required.

Use VCP (***.vcp) file format when you want to batch store and later import all of the

ClassPad’s files and data.

Use XCP (***.xcp) file format when you want to store and later import individual variables or

eActivity files for each type of ClassPad data (eActivity, Geometry, Spreadsheet, etc.) Note

that XCP format can be used to store variables and eActivity files only. For information

about variable data types, see page 1-7-3 of the separate Software User’s Guide.

A save operation saves the following variables and eActivity files.

(1) System variables: Ans, a0, list1, xmin, xmin3d and other data

(2) General variables: Files saved with Geometry, Spreadsheet, Program, etc.

List files, Mat files, etc.

Image files saved as hard copies

(3) eActivity files

Saving to a VCP file (***.vcp) saves all of the above files and data currently in ClassPad

memory.

Saving to an XCP file (***.xcp) saves only the variables or eActivity files for a specific

data type (eActivity, Geometry, Spreadsheet, etc.).

VCP and XCP files can be transferred between ClassPad and a computer when there is a

USB Flash mode connection between them. For details about connection modes, see “2-5

Transferring Data between ClassPad and a Computer”.

VCP File Save As/Open/New

The following explains the three file operations available for VCP files.

Save As ... Main memory contents and eActivity data are converted to a VCP file.

Open ........ Imports a VCP file stored in the mass storage area into the main memory and

eActivity area.

New .......... Resets the main memory and eActivity area.

On ClassPad, use the application menu to perform VCP file operations.

To save a VCP file

(1) On the icon panel, tap m to display the application menu.

(2) Tap

at the top left of the application menu.

This opens a menu of setting options. •
