[Reader-users] Memory card readout; next software upgrade

[Gashel, James]

Hi Mike, Ray, and all:

There is a folder on the memory card called "Debug."  Certain files,
such as a log file, etc. are saved to this folder automatically.  You
can find this folder on a pc, but it is hidden on the Reader itself.
The only purpose for the data in this folder is for troble-shooting and
analysis.  It is not a folder that users need to interact with.  Also,
we have placed limits on the debug folder, so you don't have to worry
about it filling up so you have no space on the card.  It will clean
itself up and stay out of the way for you.
