7 Recovering Data from the Loop Recorder
The loop recorder contains approximately two megabytes of solid-state
nonvolatile memory, which can be used to continuously record data. If
more data is collected than fits in the memory, the oldest data will be over-
written with the newest data. You always have up to the last two megabytes
of data available for download.
7.1 Using WinHADCP to Recover Data
a. On the Tools menu, click Recover CM Recorder.
b. Select the folder where the files will be downloaded. Click OK.
c. When the download is complete, click OK.
7.2 Using BBTalk to Recover Data
Use BBTalk to recover data from the loop recorder.
NOTE. You must use BBTalk version 3.04 or greater. Older versions of
BBTalk do not have the Loop Recorder functions.

type device (see the RDI Tools User’s Guide for details on using
BBTalk).
