Product Line
HMIG3U, HMIG5U, HMIG5U2 CFast Card, HMIZCFA16S

Environment
Windows 7, 10 running Backup & Recovery tool for HMIGTU

Cause

The tool can be used via two methods:

Method 1:
Obtain a Type 1.0 compatible CFast card reader for PC to use the Backup and Recovery Tool

Method 2:
Run the Backup & Recovery Tool on a second HMIG5U/HMIG5U2 using the Data Storage CFast card slot as a card reader. An SD Card or USB memory stick will be required to hold the .BIN image file, as the C:\ will not have enough free storage space for the .BIN file.
