Trimble X-Series Scanners - SD Card Formatting

Trimble X-Series Scanners - SD Card Formatting

The Trimble X-Series Scanners ship with a 32GB SD card, formatted in the FAT32 format. Most larger SD cards (over 32GB) are formatted in ExFAT format, and must be converted over to FAT32. In order to take advantage of newer and larger cards (such as SDXC cards), it's important to ensure they are in the correct file format in order for the scanner to recognize them.

To format higher capacity SDXC cards in FAT32 format use the link here to download the free GUI Format Tool.

Once downloaded, launch the application, and set the "Allocation Unit Size" to 32768. Then, select Start, and Close when the job has finished and the bar is green.
