Memory card
The optional memory card facility extends the scope of the memory facility by the use of a ’Smart
Card’ containing non-volatile static RAM with battery back-up. The card should have at least
128 k of memory.
Information loaded onto a card is not unique to the source instrument. The data on memory cards
can be read onto other equipment using a suitable card reader.
A memory card is loaded into the memory card port located on the front panel of the Service
Monitor. Slide the card, face upwards, into the slot, guided by the channelling on the card and in
the slot sides. Firm but not excessive pressure is required over the final 1-2 mm of travel to
engage the contacts. The memory card may be inserted or removed from the instrument with the
power on or off.
Formatting memory cards
Memory cards must be correctly formatted before data can be stored on them. The MEMORY
CARD FORMAT screen and menu has facilities for formatting and checking them.
If a memory card is inserted in the Service Monitor that has been formatted to the required
standard, the MEMORY CARD FORMAT screen will show the size of the memory and the title,
if any, of the card.
