Why does my Command Station suddenly lock up and display a message asking me to “Compact Flash ROM”?
Every so often, the Command Station will need to basically Compact (defragment) it’s own internal memory. This is perfectly normal and it’s frequency of appearing is related to how often you save your work. None of your current or previous work will be lost, though the procedure can take up to 3 minutes during which time the Command Station will appear to lock up. You can opt to not perform the process by pressing a cursor button, but it will continue to display this same message each time you try and Save until the Compaction is performed. It is recognized that this is not something that would be desirable in a live setting, so the user can perform a check to see if Compaction will be needed in the immediate future (and thus risk freezing the Command Station at a critical moment). In the Save menu you will find the option to “Manually Compact Now”. To perform this, cursor to the lower line and press Enter. If the memory is close to needing Compacting, the Command Station will perform
